Disassemble into major parts. Clean thoroughly as after a day at the range. Inspect. Oil lightly all working surfaces and inside the bore and chamber, and trigger mechanism, etc. Clean the wood and put some furniture polish on a rag and wipe it down. Oil a cloth or rag and wipe all exterior metal. For rust, if you're not going to have them re-blued, just clean as well as you can and oil it up. They should be stored in a safe, and cleaned occaisonally, but you can wrap in gas paper or oiled saran wrap and box them up, if you need them put out of the way entirely.

Be sure to get a receipt or transfer signed by the owner before you accept them, and take pictures of them for the 'before' album.
