Or would moisture still seep in over time?

Are you looking to preserve a firearm for 5, 50, or 500 years?
>>
>>65453189
5-50 range

>>65453221
I've never tried it but theoretically if you tossed a silica pack in there for whatever moisture comes off the gun/ammo/mags and put the bag in an airtight container with more silica packs and stored it in a dry area not exposed to sunlight or rapidly changing temperatures then I see no reason as to why it would corrode
>>
>>65453186
You'll need a shower knife to get to it quickly.

Vacuum sealed mylar bag + silica gel would be pretty good

Just throw it in a box of oil. Preserves for 5, 50, 500, 500000 years

I always wonder how the glass-reinforced nylon frames of modern wondernines will hold up over 50+ years. Especially the newer ones with color dyes in them.
Will some kid in 2082 be able to plink with his grandpa's Glock 17, or will it have deteriorated beyond function?
>>
>>65454446
Depends on if they've baked in sunlight a lot.
>>
>>65453255
How do you keep the shower knife from rusting though?
>>
>>65454446
the nylon 66 & M16's are still in great condition after 60 years, so they'll probably be fine
>>
>>65454544
keep it in another room, but on a long string so you can reel it into the bathroom
>>
>>65453221
>5-50 range
Then just throw it in the fucking safe like everyone else, and clean it every few times you use it. Good enough unless you live in a fucking tent in the Everglades.

Its all down to UV exposure

That was a funny comic a decade ago, now it's not so funny.

>hey, how can we make a cheap .22 rifle?
>no, like a REALLY cheap .22, how many costs can we actually cut here?
>even cheaper than that, we're talking super low production costs
>could we outright make almost the whole gun out of some kind of plastic?
>go check with the guys at DuPont, see if they know a suitable material
... and then the rifle is actually pretty damn good. Unprecedented cost cutting in a commercial firearm, by design, but they were still aiming to make it viable as a rifle, and they actually last pretty well.
Modern corporate America could NEVER.

But then I won't have a shower gun.

Wasn't necessary a cheap rifle at the time, the nylon was a good material

They cost just as much as a marlin model 99 (about $50) but the marlin had a walnut stock, scope mounting rail, and an aluminum receiver
So kind of a bad deal but people then ate up the whole "space age plastic" slop back then
>>
>>65453186
do it the old soviet way, /k/omrade:
1. take apart the rifle
2. drench every part in grease, or cosmoline if you're a trve proletarian
3. wrap them in wax paper
4. put them in a box with supports for the parts to not rattle around, preferably craft yourself a wooden box to make cityfags seethe for spending over $500 for a plastic box instead of making their own box for under $50
(optional) 5. if you feel like a fancy /k/ommissar, you could vacuum seal this box that you just made and maybe put it in a metal box for extra durability

do not forget to read about how to remove the grease effectively once you need to use your loyal girlfriend!
you better lube her well before engaging in tomfoolery, no girl likes it dry and raw
>>
>>65459195
Word of advice, dont cheap out and get the aerosol can shit. That stuff is too thin and wipes off too easy. CosmolineDirect sells MIL-PRF-11796C, Class 1/1A, which is the stuff you have to heat up and melt before application. Thats the stuff that will preserve for hundreds of years
>>
>>65453221
This is a Glock, it will continue to function until the nylon 6 degrades. If you put it in a nitrogen filled container it would last hundreds of years.
>>
>>65459256
what is an aerosol can, /k/omrade?
never heard of something like that, is it something that is air + sun in a can, or what is that?
is it some sort of spray that lights up?
some fluorescent thinghy?
I think having fluorescent spray wouldn't help the metal resist against corrosion, my friend, I think it will make it only glow in the dark, like the CIA niggers

>An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas.

>>65459451
sorry komrade i mustve hit my head after drinking too much vodka and falling down the stairs. to health!

>>65453186
The edges on the gun and mag will stress the bag and it will develop pinholes over time.
Oil, wrap in butcher paper, throw in a fresh desiccant packet, vacuum seal, second layer vacuum seal, then put in hard container.
>>65459397
Does it have to be nitrogen? Readily available welding gas is argon or argon/nitrogen mix. Rigging up a purge fixture would be relatively easy.
