Any firearm is only as good as its maintenance plan. SENTRY Products Group offers a variety of dry and liquid firearm cleaning products to help maintain not only top performance of your firearm, but preserve it against long-term wear.
SENTRY Tuf-Cloth
The Tuf-Cloth™ Cleaner, Dry-Lubricant, Protectant (CDLP) is a 12”x12” cloth that is permeated with SENTRY’s micro-bonding dry lubricant that, when applied, is applied wet but leaves behind an oil-free coating as it dries that repels debris. Available in the Firearm and Knife industry for years, the Tuf-Cloth makes for ideal field maintenance where one may not have immediate access to a workable space or cleaning supplies. The lubricant is fit for all environmental conditions and finishes, to include wood or plastics. Because of its chemical composition and oil-free application, the lubricant won’t thin in extreme heat or, thicken in colder temperatures. The application from Tuf-Cloth prevents fingerprints, tarnishing, and metal dulling that accompanies environments with a higher moisture content. While CDLP is permeated in the Tuf-Cloth, it is also available in a number of alterative applications to include a pen or needle applicator, or spray bottle.

SENTRY Hi-Slip
SENTRY Hi-Slip™ Is a blend of synthetic grease with pure molybdenum . Hi-Slip maintains all the advantages of a grease in that it remains at the point of application and does not spread/migrate to other mechanical components. Hi-Slip will remain on surfaces between -65ºF to 650ºF. The grease application can lubricate all types of metal including stainless steel, blued metal, titanium and aluminum and will prevent overall galling. Hi-Slip comes in either a needle injector for precise applications or a 2-ounce jar.

When applied, the liquid is fast drying and micro-bonds to metal for excellent lubrication from -65˚F to 650˚F.

Released in the summer of 2022, the 1755 Air Long Case with EZ-Click™ MOLLE Panel is the latest in the line of Air cases by Pelican that is up to 40% lighter than previous models of hard cases. The 1755 is specifically designed for full-sized rifles, but with the inclusion of the EZ-Click panels (sold separately) can accommodate a variety of other items within it. The Air series of cases continues to provide Pelican’s leading protective cases to consumers with its proven materials and design.
As with all Pelican cases, the 1755 Air Long Case is made from super-light proprietary HPX²™ Polymer with features taken from the Protector Case™ series to deliver a lightweight, watertight, crushproof, and dustproof case that offers a significant amount of protection.
With an overall exterior dimension of 57.82” (L) x 8.86” (H) x 17.30” (W), the 1755’s exterior comprised of Pelican’s super-light proprietary HPX²™ Polymer for a lightweight shell that maintains maximum strength and impact resistance.
The new 1755 includes six Press and Pull™ latches made from an ABS polymer that secure the lid to the bottom. In addition, there are three heavy-duty, ergonomic and foldable handles on the side and ends to aid in picking up.
Several protective features built into the 1755 include four stainless-steel padlock protectors, and a single automatic purge valve made with hi-flow Gore-Tex seal using a 3 micron, hydrophobic non-woven material.
The 1755 has two quiet-rolling wheels with stainless-steel bearings that aid in rolling and transport of the case and its fully packed weight. On the exterior is a single, clear plastic business card colder for an identification placard. This card holder is only accessible with the lid open and thus prevents tampering.
The base of the 1755 includes eight low-profile locking cleats that coincide with reinforcement grooves along the top of the case lid, thus alloting for stability when stacking the Air case with other 1755s.
With an interior space of 55.00” (L) x 8.00” (H) x 14.00” (W), the new 1755 has an overall internal storage capacity of 3.56 ft³.
A one-piece, rubberized EPDM O-ring provides a watertight seal to the interior storage space.
The 1755 comes with four layers of open-cell, pick-and-pluck foam that is customizable to meet storage needs. The interior of the storage space is textured to improve grip of the case to the foam and prevent slippage.
Specifications:
Easily attaching to anchor points inside the lid of select Pelican cases, the EZ-Click™ MOLLE Panel is intended to augment other case accessories. The EZ-Click™ for the 1755 Air Long Case is a two-panel system that includes moisture reduction foam and is only available in Black (featured).
Made from the same rigid Polypropylene as Pelican’s hard cases, the EZ-Click MOLLE Panel has a spaced, grid pattern needed to mount any pouch, holster, or other accessory using the associated mounting style. The panel has the same performance specifications as a hard case and can withstand temperature variations between 0°F – 140°F.
The eight twist-cam locking mechanisms allow for rapid and easy attachment or removal, while also allowing for easy access to the rear of the panel for accessory adjustments.
