Silicon gun sock for storing muzzleloader ?

[kyron4]

My daughter got me a couple gun socks for my muzzleloaders, They are the Remington brand "silicon cotton gun socks " . They fit good and will keep the dust off them, but I was told they can trap moisture and cause rust. Any thoughts or opinions ? -Thanks

I'm sure others will say differently but I've never had a problem with rust while using these. I always clean and oil my guns well before putting them away and have never seen any rust from storage with these.

I keep most of my ML and unmentionable rifles and handguns in these to keep them from bumping into each other in my safe and have never had any issue with rust or anything else. Been storing this way for many years. I do have the safes in a climate controlled area and I keep desiccant containers in the safes as well.

Been using them for years with no problems.

I live on a peninsula surrounded by saltwater. Every firearm I own wears one of those in the safe. IME, they don’t cause rust, they prevent rust!
