Cheap easy protection for long guns


10-Ring

Recommended Posts

I picked up a rifle from a wonderful member of this forum last week.  The rifle is way too nice for me honestly.  It's intended use will be riding on my side by side or 4 wheeler, which in my experience is one of the roughest things you can do to a gun.  I did what I could, I ordered some self adhesive medical pre wrap tape (available on Amazon in a variety of camp patterns and solid colors). I paid $8.50 for 4 rolls and used 2 on the rifle.  I'll probably order several more and do some of my other rifles as well.  If you aren't familiar, the tape is non adhesive but sticks to itself.  I believe it will do a good job protecting against dings and scratches.  20 years ago I would have bought a wood stocked rifle and just used it, but as expensive as they have gotten I'll do what I can to keep them in good shape.

This stuff goes under the official 3m designation of Coban. Its mostly polyester and some latex depending on the variant. water and heat properties for those materials would apply. It’s intended to be breathable but of you get it wet, it would keep water in contact with surfaces longer than no wrap.

Neat stuff, didn't think about using it as a gun wrap. I was getting a blood draw a year or so back and they used that stuff to hold the gauze when they were done and I made a comment that it was neat stuff and I was going to see if I could get some to keep in the shop and the blood lady handy me her partial roll. Of course it is purple 🙂
