VCI Spare Gear Storage Bag 16"x14"

API’s 16" x 14" VCI Gear Storage Bag protects firearm parts and gear from rust during storage. It is built for bulk ammo, receivers, and long-barrel handguns in safes, cases, and armories.

Why you’ll want this bag

• Made for parts and bulk storage. Great for uppers, lowers, optics, and spare components.
• Multi-layer protection. VCI chemistry works alongside an exterior barrier layer.
• Reusable, heavy-duty closure. Strong hook-and-loop seal for repeat access.
• Cleaner storage. Helps reduce corrosion risk from humid air and temperature swings.

What fits in the 16" x 14" Gear Storage Bag

This size is ideal when a rifle bag is too long and a pistol bag is too small.

• Bulk ammunition boxes, magazines, and small parts kits.
• AR-style upper receivers and lower receivers.
• Handguns with barrels measuring 8" or longer.
• Optics, mounts, lights, and other accessories.

How VCI protection works

VCI molecules vaporize in the sealed space and bond to metal surfaces. This invisible layer helps block oxygen, moisture, and corrosion reactions.

API bags also use an exterior barrier layer. It helps hold VCI inside the bag while reducing exposure to humid outside air.

Best practices for best results

1. Store items clean and dry before bagging.
2. For long-term storage, apply a light protectant to high-wear steel surfaces.
3. Place items inside, remove excess air by hand, and seal the closure fully.
4. Open only when needed, then reseal tightly.

FAQs about VCI gun bags

Do VCI bags need to be vacuum sealed?

No. VCI protection works by filling the sealed space with corrosion-inhibiting vapor. A tight closure is the key, not vacuum pressure.

Is VCI safe for blued steel, stainless, and coated finishes?

VCI is designed to protect metal surfaces without damaging common firearm finishes. Keep items clean and follow normal storage practices.

How long does VCI protection last?

Protection time depends on storage conditions and how often the bag is opened. For best results, keep the bag sealed and store in a stable environment.

Can I store optics and small accessories in the same VCI bag?

Yes. This bag is ideal for optics, mounts, and small parts kits stored alongside receivers and components. Keep sensitive items clean and dry before sealing.
