Dashunde - Yes i am going to Brazil.

Yes i am serious about burying them in the ground.

I also believe that aquiring my AR will be much harder to get if i came back and bought another. It was pretty easy getting the AR, i was shocked. I don't believe it will be that easy again.
 
An AR is no different from any other rifle. Why should it be harder to acquire?

You can bury your guns if you want, but depending on how long you are gone heed the words of some others. I think they will be a rusted mess when you return unless they are very well pickled in cosmoline, and I mean practically submerged in it.

Uhh... no.

Why don't you read the posting I put forth above ^^^ and then read the article posted where another guy used the exact same method I described to bury a Mini-14 for 15 years and then who retrieved it as good as new?

I did read the article. The author indicated that he coated the firearm in a rust preventative. I recommended the OP do the same thing to be reasonably assured the firearms would not be harmed by humidity. Please re-read my post.

You've obviously never worked with real cosmoline.

LPS-3 wipes off with a rag. It's all that is needed. And even then... if they are packed in vapor barrier and then tubed, you don't even really need that.

Packing for long term storage is not rocket science. The military does it every day, as does the aircraft parts industry. A metal object properly sealed into a dry environment does not know if it's on the shelf in a warehouse, left in the bilge of a ship, or buried in the mud.


Strangely, we find in Wikipedia the following:


Notable Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass recently disclosed that ancient Egyptian mummification practices from the third to fifth dynasties utilized a chemical compound molecularly similar to cosmoline



Oh well.

i don't want to pay anything, storage fees, armed guards? We don't have armed guards here. Sounds expensive anyways...

Granted i don't know what it cost for a small storage here..im sure it aint that much.. I wouldn't trust it, fire, burglary ect ect, even though those things not very likely, i still don't want to.

Im probably going to put them in seperate pbc pipes, i would do everything correctly.

What about ammo? same process? Does ammo need to be put in pipes as well?
 
If you store your guns in a 'shop' somewhere, does that constitute a transfer? And if so, you may lose any grandfather provision (depending on the firearm, of course) during the years(?) of storage. Then, to get them back, go through the NICS process again? And if you live in a state that limits firearm purchases/transfers per month, could be a problem. With the current climate of new gun control laws being enacted, you don't know what's going to be law when it comes time to get them back. So, I'd be leery of storing them at any shop, especially here in NJ.
 
why should it have been any more difficult than any other rifle?

The Political reality is that nearly 50%(and rising) of our country looks upon the .gov as someone who brings them a check on the 1st and 15th and provides them many other free services...... they have no responsibilites ...... and if that selfsame .gov tells them that AR-15's are "Assault Weapons/Weapons of War/Baaaaaaaaaad/Whatever, they'll be OK with it, as who needs "Rights" when you have no Responsibilities? So long as the checks keep hittin' on the 1st and 15th, they don't care.

They believe they can because the .gov schools told them they live in a "Democracy", and they know they outnumber those folks that babble about nebulous things like "Rights" and "Responsibilities", so they can just keep voting themselves those checks.......

...THAT is why an AR-15 might be more difficult to buy in the future.
 
We are wandering and the questions have been answered on a technical level (if this is legit).

Some anthropology graduate student in the year 3000 AD will thank you for this.
