where to buy: bulk gunsocks

[ksenter]

Any leads on where to buy gun socks in a larger quantity for a lesser price? I'm gonna need 30ish within the next 2-3 weeks as we start to pack for moving.

Amazon maybe?
P.S. moving ammo, guns, safe and moving in general sucks. Lol
Good luck!

If you get in a bind, I have used sweatpants type bottoms. Cut them in half and have 2 socks

Sweatpants is an awesome idea!

Sell the ammo, move the money. Much lighter.

If you're just using socks, then you'd still need/want to pad them so they don't bump against each other. In that scenario, why not cut out the middleman and just wrap them in blankets?

Lay the blanket on the ground, roll one rifle up until it's sufficiently padded for your taste. If that happens to be about halfway, then start a second rifle from the opposite edge and roll it until it meets the first rifle. Should look like two long burritos next to each other. Packing tape the bundle tightly like a goofy rolled carpet. Done. Very stackable, and two rifles won't "roll around" in the cargo area.

You could use UHaul blankets, then who cares about tape residue on the outside, because they're rented. Inspect them for oil stains or metal staples, butnother than that: cheap, as many as you want, and after you move you don't have 30 rifle socks taking up storage space.

I've moved my brother's collection around a few times due to his job taking him away from home for extended periods.

A simple cheap towel, blanket, or heavy sheet works great and can be repurposed. Like mentioned above, fold/wrap, secure with cheap masking tape, and stack em up.

Will be moving them multiple times and storing in friends/family safes for 8-12 months, blankets won't do. Large collection needing protection for possibly a year. Current safe being sold, new larger safe being procured when new house is completed. It's not as easy as basic transportation from one location to another.

Moving sale of firearms and ammo!

Sounds like a fire sale is in order! Lol

I can order direct from my distributor. If you don't care about color, I can get the 52" $4.50 per sock. That's 52" scoped/unscoped.

Downside is my distributors are taking awhile to ship so I couldn't guarantee the 2-3 weeks. I'm still waiting on them to ship an order from 20 jul. For the most part these guys have been shipping within a couple of weeks.

Amazon has the 6 pack for just over $30 and you'll probably get them faster.

You're selling my safe? I hope to me.

Harbor freight has moving blankets pretty cheap

2 different sizes as well. Could wrap multiples in a large one or cut them or use a small one and heavily wrap one or two.
Still think he's more interested in socks.

If by "needing protection" you mean the sock will stay on the rifle, then unless you are very particular that it must be a silicone-treated sock, there are still cheap "temporary" options.

But this next idea involves some labor, and I have no idea what the situation is at your "friends/family safes".

Go to the fabric store (JoAnne's or Michael's; screw Wal-Mart). Find the cheapest fabric that has some padding qualities. Figure about 1.5 yards for every two or three rifles (you're going to cut strips (lengthwise to how the fabric is unwrapped), so it depends on how many layers you'd wrap around each long gun. Once home, find your wife's "good scissors"...

Clear the weapon, oil it, cut the fabric for it, wrap it, tape it like you're mailing it and don't want anyone to open it. Label it with a sharpie. Done.

Protect those rifles with blankets during the move, just as you would've if they were in socks.

Ideally, you are the one to unwrap them in 8-12 months.
Good luck.

There's a product that's used as a medical compression bandage. It's called "Tubigrip" and comes in different diameters. The rolls are generally 30 to 33 feet long so you can cut the tube to whatever length you want. If a little more padding is needed anywhere, I've just add a towel in the wrapping.
