could anyone recommend a long term storage grease for blued guns? i'm in a damp area and would prefer a grease as apposed to oil that would have to be done every so often. something vasoline like, anybody know if that would work? thanks for your help, jag

  I am looking at storing some guns long term (2+years) for a friend. I have some ideas, and have read a little about it, but was wondering what kind of suggestions you guys might have, Thanks, Dan

  in my opinion you might want to try wipe the gun down with a silicon rag then store in a bag such as a bianchi blue bag. makes it so much easier if you decide to shoot it some time.

  Cosmoline has worked well for a few score years. Any mil-spec perservative, long storage, should suffice.

  Cosmoline will probably work well.
