Gun slips any ideas

[Wadhill1]

Learned folk, I am trying to find a cheap way to protect my rifles in storage. At present I wrap them in old bits of sheets, does anyone know if anyone makes a cheap cloth rifle slip?

Thanks in advance.

yes, but with over 45 rifles to cover that gets a bit expensive!!

Hence the thread........

Crikey 45 rifles that's a lot of socks!! I see your point but for one or two rifles I guess they are a fairly cheap option maybe ask a supplier if they will do a bulk deal perhaps

How do you store them?

Personally I wouldn't wrap a rifle up in anything.

Just oil them and let them breath.

I have two big cabinets that I made myself....problem is they are stood up 2 and sometimes 3 deep so a bit of cloth helps to protect them.

If I made another cabinet Mrs Wadhill my suspect I have too many rifles.. she thinks I have just a few

I cant say how many rifles and pistols I own....... she might read the thread.

lets just say I have a Duck gun bore x a pheasant shooting bore and then about a score more than that in rifles.
Pistols are about a twentieth of a tin of pellets.

One wind-sock, chuck 'em all in

Google 'stockinette' or mutton cloth. It comes in rolls but most seem to be a bit wide for a rifle at first glance.

Mate are you sure that you are not my twin brother I've got around 30 of the buggers and a wife that is not best pleased that they are taking up all the room. Gun socks are what I use mind you not for my Ltd editions they are in cases which sadly take up a hell of a lot of room.

A soul brother!

My finest are in cases too. It the rest I'm looking to protect and also as mentioned before cloth would help them breathe.

As an aside to this, I leave a sock full of silva cat litter at the bottom of my cabinet. This helps to obsorb any damp that may be present, especially after a day's rough shooting with the the shotgun.

In Hospitals we use a tubular bandage called tubigrip - that would do it - get a roll and cut to length.
