I recently got PCS orders overseas and can't take any of my firearms with me. Ideally I'd leave them with my family, but my Father is a prohibited person and I don't want to put him in a legal corner. I'm starting to think that I'll have to put them in a storage locker for the next three years. However, being the on the Florida Panhandle I can not guarantee that it will be a "cool dry place"
What are your long term storage tactics? Should I just bite the bullet and put everything in cosmoline? Would a gun sock and desiccant packs be enough? I've got a vacuum sealer, anyone ever vacuum seal a rifle? Any other suggestions or alternatives?
