Why VCI anti-rust storage bags are the most convenient options for fire arm rust prevention. 

VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) anti-rust storage bags offer several advantages over traditional methods of rust prevention such as desiccant packs, oils and greases, dehumidifiers, and heating rods. Here are some of the benefits of VCI storage bags for short or long term firearm storage:
