The Birchwood Casey SportLock Silicone Gun Sleeve provides reliable moisture protection and scratch prevention for rifles and shotguns during transport and storage. This 15-inch gray cotton sleeve combines traditional fabric construction with advanced silicone treatment technology. Hunters and sport shooters rely on this protective sleeve to maintain their firearms' condition in challenging environments.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard fabric gun socks, the SportLock sleeve features silicone-treated cotton fibers that actively repel moisture while maintaining breathability. The silicone impregnation creates a barrier against humidity and condensation without trapping existing moisture inside the sleeve. This dual-action protection prevents rust formation while allowing trapped moisture to escape, addressing the primary weakness of traditional gun storage methods.
Key Features
- Silicone-treated cotton construction repels moisture and prevents rust formation
- 15-inch length accommodates most rifle barrels and shotgun configurations
- Breathable fabric allows trapped moisture to escape while blocking new humidity
- Drawstring closure provides secure fit around various barrel diameters
- Machine washable construction maintains protection through repeated use
- Gray color resists showing dirt and wear during field use
- Lightweight design adds minimal bulk to gun cases and storage systems
Field testing demonstrates consistent moisture protection across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The silicone treatment maintains effectiveness through multiple washing cycles and extended storage periods. Competition shooters report no corrosion issues on match rifles stored in humid conditions for months. The sleeve's flexibility accommodates scoped rifles, tactical configurations, and traditional hunting firearms without binding or restriction.
