Reusable VCI Gun Storage Bags

Can You Reuse Arms Preservation Inc. VCI Gun Storage Bags? Here's What You Need to Know

When it comes to long-term firearm storage, corrosion prevention is a top priority. One of the best solutions out there is using VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) gun storage bags, and Arms Preservation Inc. has made a name for itself by offering reusable and durable options. But how long do they last, and are they really reusable?

Let’s dive into the details.

The Longevity of VCI Storage Bags

Arms Preservation Inc. VCI gun bags are designed for long-term storage—much longer than traditional single-layer poly VCI bags. These bags can protect your firearms from rust and corrosion for up to 5 to 10 years. The lifespan depends on how frequently you use the bag. If you are opening it monthly, you can expect around 5 years of protection. On the other hand, if you only access it a few times a year, it could last as long as 10 years​.

The bags achieve this impressive lifespan thanks to their 8-mil thick construction. This is thicker than the typical 4-mil single-layer VCI bags. The combination of VCI materials and a vapor barrier layer helps block oxygen and moisture from getting inside, extending the life of both the bag and your firearm​.

Reusability: A Key Feature

Unlike other VCI bags that require zip ties, tape, or even heat sealing to close, Arms Preservation bags come with a heavy-duty Velcro® closure, making them incredibly convenient to use and reuse​. The Velcro system ensures that each time you open and close the bag, it's ready for continued use without compromising the integrity of the storage system.

 Plus, there’s no need to worry about the VCI molecules losing their effectiveness after each use. These molecules only off-gas into the bag’s interior, protecting your firearm without contamination from the external environment​.

Are They Safe for All Firearms?

Yes! These storage bags are safe for a wide range of firearm components, including all metal finishes, optics, electronics, wood, synthetic stocks, and even ammunition. The protective VCI molecules won’t leave any messy residues behind when you take your firearm out​. So, whether you’re storing a pistol, rifle, shotgun, or ammo, you’re covered. 

Arms Preservation Inc. has redefined firearm storage with its reusable, long-lasting VCI gun bags. Offering protection for up to a decade depending on usage, and designed for ease of use with Velcro closures, these bags stand out in a crowded market of corrosion prevention products. So, if you want peace of mind knowing your firearms are safe from rust and corrosion for years to come, these bags are a solid investment.
