Storing a Rifle For A Period of Time.
« on: December 30, 2008, 06:29:02 PM »
What would be the best way to keep an airsoft rifle, for a long period of time, around 2+ years. i was thinking of just keeping it in the case and storing it in the closet? Is there any other better idea?

Maybe throw a couple of Silica Gel packs in there to keep out moisture. After 2 years you may need to check the rubber components. Probably will need to open the gearbox and re-grease it too.

Keep in it a case to keep the dust out.  If moisture is a concern, put some desiccant in there.  When you get back, fire it and see what happens.  If it needs work, it needs work.
