Many Gun Socks are treated with Silicone Oils. Browning's Gun Sock uses a proprietary Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor.
These products must be in contact with the tool, in order to protect it.


Desiccant sachets do not require contact, to protect tools.
They usually contain Silica Gel*, Anhydrous Calcium Sulfate, Clay (Montmorillonite), or Activated Carbon as the moisture absorbent (sorbent).

* Indicating Silica Gel is the type of desiccant that will turn from blue to pink when saturated.
