Hiding Guns and
Preparing Guns for Long Term Storage

There is a lot of information on the internet about the cleaning, and REMOVAL of cosmoline from military surplus weapons. However, suppose you want to store some of your new or old firearms long-term? Or what if you want to hide your guns from criminals or other snoops? What is the best way to do so? What materials to use? Where to store your guns, and keep them safe and hidden...and so on. Please note carefully: This web page is NOT about how to hide a gun in your home in such a way that your children or their friends won't find it. THEY WILL FIND IT! Read and obey this guide to children and gun safety by American Derringer. Note also: I would never advise anyone to do anything illegal.
