Extended Storage: Air Rifles

[nitau_gg]

Dear Folks:
How do you store your break-barrel Air Rifle for extended periods? Do you apply oil/greese on it? Which oil do you use for internal and external points?

Do we need to oil the bore of the barrel too during extended storage?

How do you protect your rifle during extreme humid conditions (during summers when there is heavy rain and during winters when there is dense fog)?
Thank you.

All I do is wipe the metal parts with a piece of soft cloth soaked with few drops of Mobil.Wipe the wooden stock with soft cloth.Plug the muzzle end with a rolled small cloth.
Then put the gun in the plastic wrap that came with the gun and don't forget to put the dessicant inside the plastic.
Though I do this after every shooting session however short it may be.

I don't know whether it is advisable to put oil inside the barrel but I never put anything inside the barrel.

Added in 2 minutes 29 seconds:
The piece of rolled cloth inside the muzzle is sufficient to keep the barrel clean.

Thank you targetpoint! This is good advice!
Is mobil not thick enough for lubricating an AR? How about sewing machine oil?

Sewing machine oils works fine for me.I use it for everything from cleaning to lubricating my weapons.

Few drops of unused Mobil is sufficient to wipe the whole gun.The consistency of the Mobil is neither too thick nor too thin.It does the job perfectly.
Can't tell you about the sewing machine oil as I never used it.
