Silicone Socks

[firecadet613]

Does anyone silicone socks to protect firearms in their safes?

Not so much from rust, but from nicks and scrapes from other guns in the safe?

I keep my Citori in a gun sock for that reason.

 

[Chance]

Yes, on almost everything.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Yes. they work well.

I keep the ones I don't shoot often (pretty much anything with a wood stock) in them and haven't had any issues.

Thanks, guys!

The Amazon reviews are very good, but I trust INGOs reviews much more than Amazon...

I have them too. They don't work well with scope on though. I'm too lazy to remove them so I use the socks on the barrel instead.

I keep all of mine in the safe with silicone socks on them. I of course apply a thin coat of Birchwood Casey's "Barrickade" oil on the firearm then in the sock it goes. Sock keeps the dents & dings from happening when removing my guns in and out. Been doing it for years. Got the idea from here on INGO a few years ago. I highly recommend it.

I have a bunch of them and have been very happy with them!
They don't go on well over scopes, but everything else is fine!

Never used one

I use them and as others have said they're good for limiting and bumps and dings from moving guns in and out of the safe.

Years ago my dad bought a bunch of gun storage sleeves called Muzzle Nuzzles. I believe the company that made them went out of business, but I sure wish I had some. They're made of a cotton canvas type material but the inside is almost like a cross between a fleece and a flannel material. IMO shotguns and rifles just fit in them much better, even rifles with a scope.

I have and use over 100 of them. I make it a practice to never put an uncleaned weapon in one and have never had any issue with their use. Back in the day I would buy them by the 6-pack...

I use the silicone socks my firearms especially my “prized” pieces. I don’t use them on my military collectibles as they already have their own “patina”. My main reason for using socks is to avoid dings and scratches like others have stated.

 

[mike4sigs]

i use them on all Except the ones i keep for Quik access
it cuts back on safe dings and scrapes

I put on a thin coat of RENAISSANCE wax and put my guns in old, but clean, white sox. I number the sox in order to keep an inventory and to find a gun.

 

[CitizenX]

Yes... I use them. I also use them when transporting to the car trunk so the libbies next door don't start running around in circles in their yards .

I use them for all my firearms, midway has sales on occasion for some that fit scoped rifles pretty good.

They are inexpensive and work great. If you want a spare rifle you can always tell your wife "I forgot I had a similar one" after the fact because of the sock's secret cloaking ability.

That's probably a one time excuse, but it seems reasonable to me.
