Any longer term issues with storing guns in some sort of fabric? Im assuming those silicone gun socks are made specifically for that so they arent a problem (or are they?). What about an actual sock (clean of course) or a rag?
I have a few rifle sized gun socks but for handguns, Ive been using an old sock to keep it from getting dinged up in the safe. Theyre cotton so I was thinking maybe they could hold any moisture that finds its way into the safe. I put some weatherstripping around the door but its far from a perfect seal. Would it make it any better if I treated the sock with oil first? Anyone have any experience with this type of method good or bad? (or am I the cheapest bastard on NES?)
Really I should be talking about getting a more appropriately sized safe but thats a question for another day. So as for now, storing guns in an untreated, clean, cotton gym sock- yes or no?
