mylar rifle bag sources

Where can I buy Mylar rifle storage bags? I can't seem to find an on-line retailer for long bags, I know of many for smaller bags, up to the size designed to go inside a 6 gallon bucket, but I can't find one designed for rifle storage. I need some for basic scoped rifles as well as for the larger military pattern stuff like AR's and FN's.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know of any either..

HOWEVER... if it was me, I would get some for a 55 gallon drum, cut, iron and size as needed.

Not mylar, but what I use to protect the M1 carbine that lives in the truck is just a section of seal-a-meal tube bagging. I cut it a foot or so overlong, and seal it near the ends; leaving some extra bag length unused. That way I can cut it open near the seal once a year or so (to check the gun), and have some room left at the end to re-seal it for another year. Saves doing a whole new bag every year by wasting only the little I cut off near the old seal.

For genuine mylar bags, I buy mine at www.sorbentsystems.com but don't know if they'd have any that are rifle size & shape.

Go to brownell's and look up zcorr bag's, I think that's what your looking for.

Those small zcorr mylar bags seem a bit overpriced. Do these differ in anyway to mylar bags you can get to store food in?

I think that you could make one with a couple of superpail liners and a hot jaw clamp.

You could fit an AR in this bag, you just need to break the upper and lower apart.

Their supposed to have some coating that releases a anti rust vapor, theirs some name for it but can't think of it off the top of my head, I'm sure it's on their website.

For anyone using seal a meal or foodsaver bags I recommend a couple of things. First, depending on the weapon, use some bubble wrap or similar substance around any sharp edges or prominent protrusions. These bags often will develop small punctures causing a loss of seal if you fail to do this. Second, I double seal both ends about 1/8 inch apart. I have not lost a seal by doing this. It is water and air tight and works well for both trunk guns or something stored in a pvc pipe. You also may want to lightly oil the weapon prior to making the 1st seal on the 2nd end, even though it's airtight. Insert some paper towels into the bag prior to making the 2nd to last seal to prevent any lubricant from getting into your foodsaver machine.

This zcorr bags are first rate and a fair investment to protect a $1000 rifle since they are extra heavy duty and contain a VCI liner.

You have to make your own rifle sized mylar bag. They're made by opening the long sides of a 20x30 bucket bag, folding it in half, and resealing it with an iron. Don't go cheap on the thickness of the mylar, 5 mil is minimum and 8 mil is best, and the extra $2 on materials is well spent.
