    Default Glock in oil in a Zip-Lock Bag no air.

    Is there any reason that I can Not put a Glock in a Zip-Lock bag and fill with new oil, burp the air out and lock for long term underground storage.........?

    I embalmed two H&R firearms today (1) .243 Win. & (1) 12 Gauge in Arctic Grease. I have been packing knives, and tools in bearing grease also.

    My concern is that a standard zip lock would deteriorate over time (I assume the bag is going in another container like PVC?). Don't know if it would then become susceptible to moisture, or if the coating on the weapon would protect it enough. Maybe something sturdier than a zip lock?

    Swaddling it in an oil soaked cloth may alleviate some of the possible moisture issues too.

    Maybe an ammo can full of oil would be goooder, and I'll stick a 3" S&W Model-60 in to keep it company.

    I figure if it is completely bathed/submerged in oil that there could be no air or moisture.

    THere may be some possible damage to the handgrips. Probably would be still usable, just discolored and maybe swelled up? On the S&W Model-60 if they are wood

    It's overkill SD.

    Clean the item, oil it , and store it.

    Any oil will erode plastics over time.

    Talcum powder works well in flexible bags. I heard this, never did it. The physics sound right.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    Yes, I was concerned with the effect petroleum products would have on plastics over any extended period of time,,,even the ballistic polymers of a glock I think, would be effected

    Brother, IMO, it's gonna be better to have gun in hand than buried.

    In 100 years they'll be mining SD's property for guns.

    I don't know about oil over time effecting Glock grips but they are supposed to be REALLY stable. I am with Winter in the thought of just clean it, oil it, and store it. The tennifer treatment on Glocks is some pretty wonderful stuff to inhibit corrosion. Maybe an ammo can with some baggies of moisture absorbing silicone crystals like the kind you get in the boxes of new electronics.

    9mm: Because I've seen a .45 bounce off of a windshield MORE THAN ONCE.

    9mm: Because even 1911 guys don't want to get shot with one of my "little" bullets.

    9mm: Because low round count single stack pistols suck in a gun fight!

    The objective is not to simple "Store" it. But to bury it underground, in ground that get -35* in the winter.

    Cosmoline? I dunno. That's a tough one. I think a heavy bearing grease would work. Maybe you can do a test on a piece of scrap metal and burry it in your preferred manner and check on it in a few mos/ a year/ or so.

    How do you plan on getting them out of the -35° ground? That's a long time to wait to access a gun if you have to wait for spring...
