storage of Lugers and other firearms

WehrmachtP08 · 02-02-2009, 06:50 PM

I don't have that much time to do monthly cleaning/oiling of my Luger and other firearms, and am usually going 6 or more months without touching them (They are in a safe). What would be the best thing for me to do to store them? I have heard that Cosmoline is good for long term storage of firearms (Hear of mil. surp. guns never touched from WWII in near-perfect condition using cosmoline). Any other oils/storage methods?
