Disassemble them and give em a REAL GOOD cleaning. Especially internally and the bore. Make sure and get any rust you have and ALL the fingerprints and body oil of the outside.
Then liberally oil it down with a good quality gun oil or better yet a good silicone lube for guns. The silicone will actually eat small amounts of rust you miss.
After the bore is SPOTLESS oil it down good. A nice lil plug of gauze or cotton saturated in oil stuffed in the muzzle is a good idea as well. Keeps dust out of the bore which WILL draw moisture and cause rust.
Or store em muzzle down.
A light coat of oil on all the wood as well. Any leather should be rubbed down with a good saddle soap.
Toss a couple of BIG bags of desiccant in the bottom of the safe as well.
These will need to be changed every year or so.

Take closeup pics of all the guns(both sides) and write down all the serial numbers. On paper and on the photos. Buy trigger locks for all of em as well.
Controls pilfering/playing with them.
List all serial numbers on any contract as well.

I don't care HOW GOOD a friend he his. Pics and serial numbers WITH a detailed contract. Make him responsible for the physical well being AS WELL as their financial worth in the contract!

Dont wrap em unless you oil the wrap. Womens nylon panty hose works or unwaxed cheesecloth.

If any are nickel plated just clean and oil as usual, I have a S&W 3rd Model .44HE (a holy grail among collectors) that sat unfired in a wall base gun cupboard from 1958 to a couple months ago. Gave it a good wipe down and it is good as new. Lisa's nickel jam-o-matic is the same way.

Shotguns, clean and oil as usual, plug the muzzle with a fired shell, wrap in silicone gun sock. Rifles you don't need to plug the muzzle, everything else is the same.

I highly recommend you talk to the Texans, Arizonans, and New Mexicans at www.smithandwessonforums.com and see what they say. Tell them Scruffy49 sent you. Join, it's free, ask in the armory sub-forum. I expect to see you there this evening.

He would fire it every couple of years or so. He kept it in a can full of ATF. He would fish it out, disassemble and clean it, fire it in our basement range, clean it and drop it back in the can.

Jog while that is a good idea, in the long run it would end up costing me more then what the guns are worth. Not to mention it's hard to justify the additional expense of an off site storage facility as I've already got 2 storage buildings on my property and a 20x20 workshop that I'm hoping to have complete or at least dried in this next spring/summer.

I went and talked to one of the local gunsmiths yesterday and he's gonna do a detail cleaning on them then vacuum pack them in some poly VCI anti corrosion bags for me to store them in. He said it's the same type of bags the military uses for long term storage and they are good for a min. of 10 to 15 years if not longer.

Price wise it's not to bad only gonna cost me $35 per gun.

I work on commercial aircraft and we use corrosion inhibiting compound on things that need to be serviced, or protected from the environmental aspects of where it flies. I guess you can imagine a plane in freezing weather, and hours later, in hot tropical climes.....so I guess it must be pretty good. The stuff I use sorta smells, but it cleans up pretty easily. You might google aircraft supplies, etc, and see what a tube cost?????

Is this directed to me? I'll assume it is Cheesy

Well, I'm not certain if it has another name, but we call it 3-38, or CIC. I think Dow makes it, not really sure. I use it on pert near everything, from composite, aluminum, titanium, etc. I haven't used it on wood, it might stain, I don't know. But a good clean is paramount before applying, even hand jive can lessen its abilities to adhere in a manner that gives it 100% effectiveness...

Do I get my pudding now? Kiss
