I have the need to put some long guns in long term storage due to the high price of ammo, I do not reload. I was looking at using Zcorr FSP bags. They cost $13.00 for each bag. What would be to proper way to prepare these long guns for extended storage? They will all be cleaned prior to storage. I will keep them in a unheated summer home in northern Wisconsin where it gets 35 below zero in the winter. I assume that the scopes have to come off the scoped rifles. One of the rifles is an M1 Garrand with a walnut stock, the rest of the stocks are synthetic. What products should i use, and should i grease the inside of the barrels?
