GUIDELINES FOR LONG TERM STORAGE

Topic Progress:

If you’re planning to keep your gun stored for quite some time, be sure to follow these simple methods.

FOR THE GUN

  1. Disassemble your gun.
  2. Clean all parts of the gun and be sure to remove any residue, which can cause damage if not eliminated.
  3. If your gun has a wooden stock, wax it before storing the gun.
  4. Check your gun from time to time and apply gun oil when necessary.
  5. Store long guns barrel down.

FOR THE STORAGE DEVICE

  1. Include a dehumidifier or desiccant in your storage device to prevent moisture from forming on your gun.
  2. If possible, keep your gun in a silicone treated gun sock to prevent rusting and scratching.
  3. Add an extra layer of protection by keeping your gun in a storage bag. There are different options available on the market, such as velcro seal and vacuum seal.
