Does anyone use Crown Royal whiskey bags for gun storage?

I have a number of them since my wife loves the "Crown". I am a scotch drinker!

I thought about using them after a coating of REN Wax.

Any thoughts?

I have stored guns in them and keep the choke tubes for my Red Label in one.I also have a friend who keeps reels in them. I have a drawer full and will put something in them. I bought a nickel 58 from handejector at the SWCA meeting in Richmond and transported it home in such a bag.
 
I actually use a "felt" bag that a pair of dress shoes came in. I use it to store a non-S&W .22 kit gun that I have. If the gun is cleaned and coated, I don't see why not. But, I do realy like the "bore-stores" gun rugs. They are pretty cheap.
 
Instant drug search if a Crown Royal bag is spotted in your car. Every old hippy thinks they're the first one to hide their stash in a velvet pouch. :D
 
I am very hi-tech. Also cost to store my guns has no limits. I use old socks.
 
They can be used for something's but not guns. They offer no padding/protection, AND since there made from a flannel/velvet material they will trap in moisture and cause rust to develop. A cotton sock will at least breath, but a gun sock is more appropriate as they are coated with silicon

They are nice bags, but I do not drink Crown, so I do not have any...

I am a Scotch drinker, and a lot of the Scotch I drink comes in Tubes...

So I have a "bunch" of them and use them for all kinds of things...
 
I store coins in them until I find time to roll them. Same for shoe bags. And I have one full of ammo that I've collected, not stuff that I'll shoot.
 
I don't drink Crown Royal so don't keep guns in them,but i have a friend who has a comforter made of them!In the middle is the Ca.commemoritive[sp/?] bag! :) It's made very well.

WHAT?!? You mean...ooops! Actually I just keep old or unusual coins and tokens in mine. It just so happens I have an extra one lyin' around if anyone wants it.
 
I have three or four guns in Crown Royal bags. The guy who owns the Colt Cobra Jack Ruby used to kill Oswald keeps it in a Crown Royal bag. He was on TV and sometimes lets others shoot the gun and he sells the spent cases, too.
 
Used to put the empty brass in them for the ride home from the range. Now I use those mesh bags that are suppose to be for separating clothes that go in the washer. I have never done that, and don't know why there is a need to do that, nor do I want to know why people do that!:) Therefore, these cheapo mesh bags have worked great as brass bags. You can shake all the dirt and sand out of the cases with them too!

Feralmerril, I use the old sock on handguns when there are several in a gun case at one time to keep them from coming into contact with one another during transport should they move around in the case.

As a side note, I think I have found a Crown Royal bag with something in it in every single search warrant I have done in the past 27 years.
 
Feral, you sure your daddy lived in Wisconsin, not Kentucky? Every one I know keeps his handguns in old cotton socks. Its a state storage requirement here! :) Its even fun at the gunshows to watch the other guys unload their wares on tables, and the pile of old socks on the nearest chair. Looks like its laundry day.

On the Lee issue.....I bought a ratty old 4th model 44 from him in January. Of course I had to travel downstate to pick it up because we did the transaction in Ohio. When I got there to get the gun, it was in the gun rug he furnished. But inside the rug was the gun in a Crown Royal bag. I assume that its his packing system. That or he drinks a lot of the stuff at home. :D
 
After a good BBQ, I use them to store empty Crown bottles. :)
 
I used to buy those little bitty bottles of crown on payday. Those and a pack of non-filtered camels. The old woman that ran the liquor store would give you a dollar for the bag if you wanted to sell it. She said that she undone the stitching and made pillow cases with them. I have kept mine, large and small. I use them for my golf clubs, and to carry .22 and .25 ammo when I'm plinking or hunting. Makes me want a shot or two.
Peace,

Personally I find the Captain Morgans Private Stock bags superior to the Crown Royal bags.
