Living in Upstate New York means six months of cold and snow, four months of rain and mud and then two months of heat and humidity. Don’t get me wrong, we are incredibly fortunate to have some of the most gorgeous summer and fall weather imaginable sprinkled in. Christmas time in NNY looks like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting, but the weather up here can be rough. Rough on people and rough on our guns.

We take great pains to ensure that we are creating products that solve the problems every firearm owner encounters and we strive to solve them so well that we would use those products ourselves on our guns. Enter the Metal Defense Bore Stick™.

The Bore Stick™ was designed to protect the bore of your firearms from rust and corrosion during the off season, no matter how long (or short) your off season is. Composed of VCI, a vapor corrosion inhibitor, the Bore Stick™ is inserted into the barrel of the gun for set-it-and-forget-it protection. The Bore Stick™ will slowly emit molecules that create a protective barrier on the metal surface. The Bore Stick™ features a plug to cap the muzzle and with the firearm action closed, creates a sealed chamber for maximum effectiveness. Each Metal Defense Bore Stick™ will last two years. Not planning on leaving your rifle idle for two years? Pop the Bore Stick™ back into the resealable bag and extend its life until you’re ready to use it again.

Our R&D team over engineered this little guy to make the Bore Stick™ the easiest way to care for your gun. Right down to the design of the plug. Track time elapsed by writing your start date on the plug so you don’t have to wonder how long it’s been in there.

So here's the breakdown: 

• protects guns from rust and corrosion
• composed of VCI, a corrosion inhibitor
• creates a protective barrier on the metal surface
• inserts into barrel of the gun
• features plug to cap muzzle and track time elapsed
• lasts two years
• available in rifle, shotgun and pistol lengths

To Use:

1. Make sure firearm is unloaded.
2. Feed the cord into the barrel from the muzzle.
3. To seal the VCI inside the barrel for maximum protection, lightly press the plug in the muzzle and close the action.
4. Write the date on the plug to track time elapsed. Bore Stick™ will last two years.

Starting at $4.99 the Bore Stick™ is a great addition to any gun safe. Pick it up for your pistols, rifles, and shotguns to ensure that no matter how long you're storing your firearms they are protected.
