I am 80+ years old and have hunted and fished since I was 5 years old. I have never sold a firearm, so I have several.
In my later years, I have about stopped hunting except for using a pellet gun to run birds and squirrels out of my fruit trees. The guns will go to my grand kids when they get independent since their mother does not want guns in the house.
My better firearms, of which six are competition grade, are stored in a gun safe inside a temperature controlled home and used very little. When not used for a time, how often do I need to wipe them down with an oily rag and what is the best way to prepare them for long storage. Do they need to be in a treated gun sock?
On an internet search, I got a time frame of weekly to every 10 to 15 years.
Thanks.
