I don't know. I could give it a try. I've packed M16 and M1 carbine magazines for 20 years and they were just like new. I've packed BDU's with some pine needles and they were fine after 5 years. Full guns are rough. I learned the hard way not to oil them up and then pad sharp corners with Styrofoam. Oil and Styrofoam make an acidic goo that removes finishes.
