Made with Cortec VpCI-126 MIL VCI Film
API uses Cortec VpCI-126 MIL film on the inside layer of this shotgun and rifle storage bag.
This MIL version of Cortec VpCI-126 is a transparent blue VCI film designed for long-term corrosion-inhibiting packaging.
Cortec VpCI-126 MIL is qualified to MIL-PRF-22019D Type 1 and confirmed by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division.
It is referenced with Qualified Product Listing QPL 13600 Ser 43500B120-3/531.
This military-approved VCI film protects ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is also approved for use by major aerospace manufacturers.
Additional standards and references include TO 1-1-686, TM 55-1500-331-34, NAVAIR 15-01-4, and NACE Standard RP0487-2000.
How This VCI Gun Bag Works
VCI stands for Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor. Inside the sealed bag, the VCI layer releases corrosion-inhibiting molecules into the enclosed air space.
These molecules settle on exposed metal surfaces and help reduce oxidation before rust starts.
This protection can reach visible metal surfaces and hard-to-reach areas inside the firearm.
The outer barrier layer helps reduce exposure to moisture, oxygen, and outside contaminants.
Built for Shotguns, Rifles, and Seasonal Gun Storage
This 11" x 54" VCI gun bag is a strong fit for many long guns used for hunting, sport shooting, collecting, and home storage.
Common fit applications
- Single-barrel shotguns
- Double-barrel shotguns
- Pump-action shotguns
- Many traditional rifles
- Seasonal hunting firearms
- Collectible long guns
- Stored firearms in safes, closets, cases, and racks
Cleaner Than Heavy Oil, Grease, and Gun Socks
Many gun owners rely on oil-heavy wipe-downs, grease, desiccants, or gun socks for rust prevention.
The API VCI Shotgun Rifle Storage Bag gives firearm owners a cleaner and more controlled storage option.
Place a clean, dry firearm directly into the bag and seal the hook-and-loop closure completely.
Do not store the firearm inside a gun sock while it is sealed in the VCI bag.
Soft gun socks can retain moisture. That moisture can reduce storage performance and create a risk of surface rust.
How to Use the API VCI Shotgun Rifle Storage Bag
- Confirm the firearm is unloaded.
- Clean and dry the firearm before storage.
- Place the firearm directly into the VCI bag.
- Do not use a gun sock inside the bag.
- Seal the hook-and-loop closure completely.
- Store the sealed bag in a stable indoor location.
