        @metaltao I have a couple of rolls of that film, but the covers I started making were a bit loose. That guy's technique is much better than the crude attempts I made.

            @metaltao One can "archive" guns with cosmoline. I have purchased military surplus rifles that were successfully protected from rust for decades with it. Granted, removing it when you want to take the gun out of long-term storage is a laborious process.

              @m14brony And here I was thinking of storing them in a vacuum chamber.

                @metaltao It is a thick, waxy grease that can be used to cover metallic parts for long term storage to prevent rust (it won't eventually dry out like oil).

                    @metaltao It is an excellent preservative, and I have come to like the scent of it. Of course, as I said, it is a laborious process to remove it (for instance, back in 2007, I must have spent a couple of hours removing the cosmoline from a Yugoslavian M59/66 SKS).

            @metaltao Cabela's beat me to the punch when it comes to the use of the term "Gun Library."

                @scriba A fair deal of firearms in their library are overpriced. :P

                    @scriba Indeed. And I once had the misfortune to shop around there during an NRA recruiting event. Needless to say, I had no interest in joining the Republican front group that makes the rest of us gun owners look like a bunch of lunatics.

                      @m14brony I almost got duped into that, myself.

                        @scriba Fortunately, I was already suspicious of them when I started getting into guns. Events continue to show that I made the right decision in avoiding them. It would probably be much harder for politicians to push anti-gun legislation without the NRA making us look bad.

                          @m14brony It would probably also be easier if, instead of 100% anti-gun, they were more "pro-responsible/reasonable." Which, I guess, could be said of both sides, in the end.

                            @scriba I like the way the Swiss do things with their mandatory armament and training of sane, able bodied people (this is also coupled with a lack of a belligerent foreign policy that would get those people killed for the benefit of a tiny rich minority).

                              @m14brony Boy, it seems like policy motivated by the good of the many does better for more people than the winner-take-all, cheat-to-win system does!
