Long-term storage of arms.

[Adam Helmer]

gumpokc,

Thanks for your input.

I would be careful of depending on oil for bore preservation; oil migrates and many folks store their arms butt down. Since gravity ALWAYS is at work, the oil will move DOWN toward the breech whereas grease stays in place.

A large gun vault has many rows of arms and it is not easy to check on them monthly. I have to make a map of each gun's location BEFORE I remove them from my vault to ensure I get them all back in again! I find it easier to simply grease the iron and let it sit until I need to go use any of those on establishment.

In the larger sense; maybe "Long-Term Firearms Storage" will not be a "problem" after the 2008 elections. Whatever. Be well.
