Victory VCI® Gun Bag Tips
Long-Term Rust Prevention
Victory VCI® Gun Bags protect firearms and metal accessories from rust for over three years. No oil, no cleanup–just clean, dry, trusted protection.
How to Use
Insert clean, dry items into the bag. Fold and tuck to seal, or use a tie or band (not included). Store in a cool, shaded area. Rust protection begins once sealed and ends when opened.
No Extra Products Needed
Desiccants, Emitters & Diffusers
Victory’s advanced VCI formula eliminates the need for desiccants, emitters, or diffusers. You don’t need moisture absorbers or secondary corrosion agents.
Gun Oil Guidance
Light oil coatings are acceptable, but heavy oil can block the VCI vapor from
forming a protective layer. For best results, use clean, dry metal surfaces.
Heat Sealing Option
Victory VCI Gun Bags can be heat sealed for added protection during storage or shipping. This creates a waterproof barrier for long-term use.
Compatible Metals
Victory VCI Bags prevent rust on a wide range of metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, copper, nickel, tin, lead, bronze, galvanized steel, and alloys with copper or manganese. They’re also safe for precious metals and electronics.
Moisture-Tolerant Protection
Even if a small amount of moisture is present inside the bag, Victory VCI still inhibits corrosion. Designed for real-world conditions.
Durable and Reusable
Made from heavy-duty, tear-resistant materials. Bags can be reused and patched with tape if needed.
Safe for Electronics and Optics
Victory VCI Bags are RoHS compliant and safe for use with scopes, stocks, and electronic gear.

Shelf Life and Transparency
Victory VCI Bags last up to five years in climate-controlled storage and provide over three years of active rust protection. The light blue tint allows easy inspection of contents.
What Is VCI?
VCI stands for Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor–a safe, invisible vapor that forms a protective layer on metal surfaces to prevent rust and tarnish.
Waterproof When Sealed
Victory VCI Gun Bags can be made waterproof through heat sealing, ideal for long-term storage and transport.

Important Note
Victory VCI Bags are not Velcro or zipper-style. These closures can degrade over time, allowing vapor to escape. Velcro may trap debris, and zippers can jam or break with dust exposure.
