Do you have a rifle or a pistol at home? Protect it from corrosion, even when it’s in storage
We take care of the gun after shooting—we clean it and inspect it. But the gun spends a large part of its life somewhere else entirely—stored in a safe.
And it is precisely during long-term storage that moisture and subsequent corrosion can be a problem. This applies to hunting rifles, sporting firearms, and firearms that we use only a few times a year.
A simple way to supplement routine care is GUNWARD® protective case with VCI anti-corrosion technology.
Why Worry About Protecting Your Gun in a Safe?
A hunter returns from a cold or damp environment. A sport shooter brings a firearm home from the shooting range. Another owner may not use their rifle at all for several months.
In all cases, the metal parts may be exposed to moisture, temperature changes, and time.
Simply storing a firearm in a safe does not mean it is automatically protected from corrosion.
How does GUNWARD® work?
GUNWARD® uses VCI – Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor, which is used to protect metal products from corrosion.
The principle is simple: place a clean and dry firearm into the protective pouch and seal it. The VCI substances inside create an environment that helps protect metal surfaces from corrosion.
No complicated packaging and no daily checks.
Who is GUNWARD® for?
For hunters – a hunting firearm is regularly moved between the outdoors and a storage location. Rain, fog, snow, or temperature changes pose an increased risk of moisture.
For sport shooters – a pistol or rifle is transported to the shooting range, used, and then stored again. GUNWARD® provides additional protection when the firearm is not in use.
For every firearm owner – if you have a firearm that you use only occasionally, protection during long-term storage makes even more sense.

− CONS
− The firearm must be dry before storage
It is not correct to simply place a wet firearm into its case.

Simple procedure: clean – dry – wrap – store
It doesn’t have to be complicated.
1. Clean the firearm → 2. Let it dry thoroughly → 3. Place it in the GUNWARD® → 4. Close the case → 5. Store it safely.
Whether it’s your favorite hunting rifle, a sport pistol, or a firearm you take out of the safe only a few times a year, the principle remains the same.
You protect your firearm while using it. Protect it even when you’re not using it.
A high-quality firearm can last for decades. Regular cleaning, proper maintenance, and appropriate storage conditions are therefore a must.
GUNWARD® adds simple VCI corrosion protection while your firearm is in storage.
