Are VCI Gun Bags Good?

Can You Reuse VCI Gun Storage Bags?

Are VCI Storage Bags Safe For Guns and Ammo?

VCI storage bags are safe for all firearm metals and finishes, ammunition storage, optics, electronics, wood or synthetic grips & stocks, and spare firearm parts and accessories.  This is because VCI molecules leave no messy residues behind once they dissipate off of the preserved item.  Ammunition powder and primers are perfectly safe in VCI storage bags and will remain dry and corrosion free.
