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

They have been replaced with Pachmyer.Quote:

Any oil will erode plastics over time.
Talcum powder works well in flexible bags. I heard this, never did it. The physics sound right.
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.
The objective is not to simple "Store" it. But to bury it underground, in ground that get -35* in the winter.Quote:

Figure to bury some 1911's also......... and a S&W M-60 3" .357 Mag. And a Sig Sauer P-556Quote:

I can come up with a few more "Best things to do with a Glock". Know what I mean? This could get interesting.
NFS material can dig them up by hand. NFS (Non Frost Susceptible) All so known as sand. or pea-gravel.Quote:

I have been using Bar Oil..........for you city people Bar Oil is not a beverage, but is a very, and I do mean very sticky & thick oil used to lubricate chainsaw bars & chain loops.
I't also a real female dog to get out of the trailer's wood floor, when the top comes off a new gal jug.....It's got be the nastiest oil I can think off, so I bet nothing will get thru it...Sticks to everything.
I don't know how readily available it is, but we used Tourmaline grease on submarines (probably through out the rest of the Navy too). That stuff held up to some pretty demanding conditions.
SD, Give Fluid Film a try. It is lanolin based not petrolium based. It won't harm wood plastic or metal and stays where you put it.
Yes, this was suggested by a local person also. And is available in Los Anchorage. I have never used it but it sounds like a good product.Quote:

SD, I'm sure you have a vacuum sealer somewhere around your place, for prepping halibut and salmon for the freezer and such.
Would work a lot better for long-term storage than a zip-loc bag.
With a vacuum-sealed bag (preferably sealed twice on both ends for good measure) you really wouldn't have to store it soaked in oil. Just lube the metal parts up really good with your choice of lubes and seal it up real good.
I do this with the SP2022's (9mm) I have in my "oh-snip kit". I put on a real good, thick layer of Royal Purple ATF and bag both of them in vacuum-seal bags. Same with the ammo, sans ATF though...
wool fat boys.......wool fat........... !!
(otherwise known as 'lanolin')
being a Kiwi by birth I KNOW all about this stuff.....
sticks like **** to a wet blanket, and if you'veever been in a shearing shed you'll note that damn all 'rusts'......
plus with NZ being half cousin to Alaska (ask Winter) aka........theres a ****load of RAIN. The south west coast measures rain in 'metres' per year, not millimetres and most people just spray everydamnthing with Lanolin:dissolve:
I would be afraid that the oil would destroy the grips over time. The plastic bag would almost certainly deteroiate. Cosmoline is still sold. I would coat the plastic parts in a heavy coat of wax, Cosmoline the metal. wrap it in plastic, put in an ammo can. Run a bead of high qualitycauld around the rubber gasket on the can before you close and lock it down. After closing, run another bead around the seam where the top closes down-seal around the hinghes and clasp also. Spray the outside of the can down with several coats of bedliner.Wrap repeatedly in plastic.
Good idea Shalacko. I read that fluid film is pretty good too. SD how you planning on burying the ammo? I wish I had guns to bury...had to pay off gambling debt. :whistling:
Well, he didn't have to but he's learned to love his kneecaps.

People have done the vacuum seal method and later dug up bags-o-rust. With vacuum seal, you will never get all of the air out of the bag.
