PARCHMENT PAPER

Would parchment paper be a good choice to store guns on in lieu of them setting on / touching the foam insert in the boxes new gun come in or on the plastic bag included with the new guns?

    microfiber cloth would be better. Plastic is fine, especially if the metal is oiled. Open cell foam can hold moisture and cause spotting/rust on blued firearms.


    Looking forward to next years question Don.

    Paper, cardboard and foam all attract moisture.

    For long term storage suggest gun socks.

    Or there are plastic bags made specifically for storing guns.

    At one time some were using waxed paper, but now there are much better products on the market.

    Nice guys.

    I use the silicone socks to store the firearms in and keep the boxes separate .
    I and sure most on here have seen the effects of keeping a nice firearm in the "foam lined gun cases" poor judgment or misinformation on storing has ruined a lot of gun finishes ,

    For years I used the waxed paper and a heavy coat of mineral oil wrapped tight, and had pretty good luck in a fairly high humidity non climate controlled area. You'll probably do just as well with the VCI paper and a good coat of oil.

    I use the silicone impregnated gun socks also. They offer a small amount of protection from scratches and bumps too.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Thank you for the helpful answers regarding my one question of the year. I was not sure of the use of the 'P' paper which resulted in my OP as I have never heard anyone mention its use. Maybe next year I will come up with a better question for those ''experts' here.

    We will await it with bated breath.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
