Keep Your Guns Protected with Gun Sleeves
Storage and transporting can be rough on firearms. Being jostled inside a case can cause nicks and dings on its finish, and rust can get inside the workings of most guns, creating ugly and potentially dangerous conditions. Adding a gun sock from eBay can help protect your firearms from damage in these situations.
Why choose a gun sleeve?These are generally lightweight fabric sleeves that slide over a firearm. A gun sleeve's long, tubular design resembles a sock, which is likely why these are commonly called gun socks. You can find sleeves for many different styles and sizes of guns, from pistols to long guns. These can help provide extra protection for your firearms when transporting or storing them.
What are the materials gun sleeves are made from?A gun sleeve can be made from any soft fabric that allows ventilation. Cotton and knit fabrics are the most common ones found on gun socks for sale. Many of the fabrics are impregnated with silicone to offer extra protection against rusting.
How do I find the correct size gun sleeve?You will need to purchase a gun sock that is designed for the style of gun you want to protect. If you are looking for a shotgun or rifle sock, most of the sizing will be concerned with the length of your barrel since knit sleeves will stretch to cover the stock of your firearm. Some gun socks on eBay can stretch to cover scopes too, which is a convenient design feature. Smaller gun socks for pistols are also available.
You should also look at how the socks are secured. A common and simple design will be a knit tube that has no closure. This is great if you have a very long gun that is difficult to fit in a sleeve since there will be no closures against the stock. Other sleeves can have drawstrings or even fold over tabs with hook and loop closures.
How Are Gun Socks Sold?Sometimes you may only need a single gun sock, and those are readily available. If you are looking to protect multiple guns by adding a sock to each one in your safe, you can buy gun socks in bulk packages of six or 12 to maximize their value.
What About Colors?Most gun socks for sale are a variation of gray, black, tan, or green. However, if color is important to you, some gun socks come in other colors too. Look for sleeves in shades of red, orange, or white so they really stand out in your safe and among hunting gear.
