Not exactly survival, but I have a number of rifles I won't get around to shooting in the near future. (and don't want to get rid of)
Seeing the condition of the 91/30 (in the group buy forum) after 60 ~ 70 years in storage says the Russians had a clew how to store rifles.
I gather the gist of this is, break down the rifle, perform repairs, super clean and reassemble, then dunk in cosmo and crate.
Anyone have pointers to the details, including sources for cosmoline, etc.?
For instance, in a normal cleaning, I'd oil or break-free the gun when done. Skip this step or clean as usual, only more so?
