Preserve Vital Equipment with VCI Weapon Storage Bags

Long-Term Protection for Small Arms and Rifles

When it comes to safeguarding military weapons and equipment, Arms Preservation Inc. VCI Weapon Storage Bags deliver superior performance compared to standard Mil-Spec waterproof heat-seal bags. These advanced storage solutions provide long-term rust and corrosion protection for rifles, pistols, machine guns, optics, spare barrels, and more—while significantly reducing labor and material costs.

Why Choose Arms Preservation Inc. VCI Weapon Bags?

Arms Preservation Storage Bag designs are based on military tested and approved design concepts that are reusable and safe for all metals, finishes, optics, stocks, ammo, primers, and electronics since the bags leave no residues behind and do not require the use of any messy oils or greases.

Our bag designs are based on the tested and approved concepts that came as a result of the following US Marine Corps. Solicitation:

Results of 81 - M16 LONG TERM RIFLE STORAGE & PRESERVATION BAGS

Solicitation Number: Reference-Number-60033076

The Marine Corps needed to compare a new rifle storage system to their existing system. Testing was conducted by USAMC LOGSA PSCC in Tobyhanna, PA during the spring & summer of 2003. Test samples were subjected to:

• Cold Temperature (-40 F, 24 Hour Duration)

• Temperature Shock (-40 F to 95 F)

• 1 High Temperature Cycle (91 to 160 F, 24 Hour Duration)

• Ten 24 Hour High Temperature / High Humidity Cycles (86 to 140 F, 95% RH)

• Free Fall Drop Test (2 Flat Faces From 3 Feet)

• Loose Cargo Vibration, Repetitive Shock (1 Hour Duration)

• Handling Throughout Testing and Inspection

The test center in Tobyhanna deemed, “Bag very durable & easy to use; No detectable rust/corrosion on any rifle; No condensation/dampness inside any bag; Bag remained unchanged by environments (not) saturated, repelled condensation); Performed equal to or better than MIL-PRF-131 with MIL-PRF 3420 in preventing rust/corrosion of M16 rifles under varying environmental exposures.” Additionally; packaging productivity was increased from 3 rifles per hour to 4-6 rifles per minute.

Reusable Design:

  • Unlike traditional Mil-Spec heat-seal bags, Arms Preservation VCI Bags feature a reusable closure system that eliminates the need for heat-sealing machines.
  • This reduces waste and eliminates inconsistent seals caused by manual heat-sealing processes.

Time-Saving Packaging: 

  • Packaging weapons is faster and easier than methods outlined in Marine Corps Order 4030.1F.
  • Simply clean the firearm, insert it into the bag, and close the pre-installed seal—no additional tools or desiccants required.

Exceptional Corrosion Protection: 

  • Advanced VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) technology offers 5-10 years of rust prevention, depending on usage.
  • Protects all metal components, optics, and electronics without messy oils or greases.

Pliable Material for Compatibility:

  • The flexible material design ensures compatibility with various weapon racking systems and storage solutions.
  • Suitable for storing a wide range of firearms, from small arms to crew-served weapons.

Reduced Labor Hours:

  • Drastically reduces the time spent cleaning, inspecting, and resealing weapons compared to traditional Mil-Spec bags.
  • No need for desiccants or additional anti-corrosion treatments, streamlining your workflow.

Durability and Shelf Life:

  • Built for the long haul, Arms Preservation Bags maintain their protective properties for up to 10 years when stored correctly.
  • Manufactured using electronically controlled pneumatic machines to ensure high-quality heat seals every time.

Advantages Over Mil-Spec Waterproof Heat-Seal Bags

  • No Specialized Equipment Needed: Eliminates the cost and maintenance of heat-sealing machines.
  • Consistent Quality: Electronically controlled sealing ensures every bag meets military standards.
  • Reusable Closures: Saves money by reducing material waste.
  • Faster and Simpler Process: Outperforms MCO 4030.16F packaging methods for small arms.

How Arms Preservation Inc. Bags Work

  • VCI Technology: The interior of each bag emits Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor molecules that form an invisible layer on all exposed metal surfaces, blocking rust-causing elements like moisture and oxygen.
  • Reusable Seals: The user-friendly closure system allows for quick weapon access and re-sealing without compromising the protective environment inside the bag.
  • Long-Term Storage: Provides superior protection for 5-10 years, depending on how often the bag is opened.
