VCI Gear Bag for Ammo, Firearm Parts, and Shooting Gear
The API VCI Gear Bag is a 16" x 14" anti rust storage bag for bulk ammo, spare firearm parts, lower receivers, shooting gear, and handguns.
This VCI gear storage bag is ideal when a rifle bag is too long and a pistol bag is too small.
It fits many handguns with barrels longer than 6", plus magazines, optics, mounts, lights, and small parts kits.
This 8 mil multi-layer VCI bag creates a controlled anti-corrosion storage environment around metal items during storage.
Made in the USA by Arms Preservation Inc., this bag is built for clean, reusable, and long-term rust prevention.

Made with Cortec VpCI-126 MIL VCI Film
API uses Cortec VpCI-126 MIL film on the inside layer of this VCI Gear 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 widely used, military-approved VCI film helps protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
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 Gear Bag Works
VCI stands for Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor.
Inside the sealed bag, the VCI layer releases corrosion-inhibiting molecules into the enclosed air space around stored metal items.
These molecules settle on exposed metal surfaces and help reduce oxidation before rust starts.
The outer barrier layer helps reduce exposure to moisture, oxygen, and outside contaminants.
This makes the bag useful for ammo, receivers, magazines, optics mounts, firearm parts, and shooting gear.
Built for Bulk Ammo, Lower Receivers, Parts, and Gear
This 16" x 14" VCI Gear Bag gives firearm owners more storage flexibility than a standard pistol bag.
It also saves space when a full rifle storage bag is not needed.
The bag is useful for gun safes, range bags, tool cabinets, armory shelving, parts bins, cases, and storage totes.
Common fit applications
- Bulk loose ammo
- Boxed ammunition
- Magazines
- Lower receivers
- AR-style upper receivers
- Spare firearm parts
- Optics, mounts, lights, and accessories
- Shooting gear and small range tools
- Handguns with barrels longer than 6"
Cleaner Than Loose Storage, Oil-Heavy Storage, and Gun Socks
Loose metal parts can rust when stored in humid safes, drawers, range bags, cases, and basement storage areas.
The API VCI Gear Bag gives you a cleaner and more controlled storage option.
Place clean, dry items directly into the bag and seal the hook-and-loop closure completely.
Do not place firearms or parts inside a gun sock before storing them in the VCI bag.
Soft fabric storage can retain moisture and may create a risk of surface rust.
How to Use the API VCI Gear Bag
- Confirm all firearms and parts are safe to handle.
- Clean and dry items before storage.
- Place ammo, parts, gear, or handguns directly into the VCI bag.
- Avoid foam, damp fabric, and moisture-holding materials inside the bag.
- Remove excess air by hand when practical.
- Seal the hook-and-loop closure completely.
- Store the sealed bag in a stable indoor location.
