Fail-Safe Long-Term Rust Prevention: How to Use a VCI Firearm Storage Bag

Protecting your firearms from rust and corrosion is easy with VCI firearm storage bags. Follow these three simple steps to ensure your guns remain in pristine condition for the long term, without messy oils or time-consuming maintenance.

Step 1: Clean Your Firearm

Proper cleaning is essential for effective rust prevention:

  • Disassemble your firearm (if necessary) to clean all components thoroughly.
  • Use high-quality firearm cleaning products like Breakthrough® Cleaning Products to remove fouling, residues, and moisture.
  • Apply a thin layer of Breakthrough® Clean Technologies High Purity Oil to lubricate surfaces and add an extra layer of metal protection.
  • For daily carry pistols or home defense firearms, consider applying a light coating of Metal Defense Anti-Rust Spray for added corrosion resistance.

Pro Tip: Ensure the firearm is completely dry before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Insert the Firearm into the VCI Storage Bag

  • Open the Velcro® closure of your VCI bag.
  • Gently slide the clean, dry firearm into the bag.
  • Close the Velcro securely to seal the bag.

How It Works: Once sealed, the presence of metal attracts VCI molecules from the bag’s material. These molecules form an invisible layer on both internal and external surfaces of the firearm, effectively preventing rust.

Additional Features:

  • Firearms can be stored with optics, electronics, or loaded magazines still mounted, making VCI bags versatile for various firearm types.

Step 3: Remove the Firearm When Ready to Use

  • Open the Velcro closure and carefully remove your firearm from the bag.
  • Once removed, the VCI molecules naturally dissipate, leaving no oily residues or mess.
  • Your firearm is ready for immediate use—no cleaning or preparation required.

Why It’s Convenient: This mess-free solution saves you time and keeps your firearm in peak condition, ready for action when needed.
