You would be amazed how well scanning and letter recognition software is now. Out source it to Manila at a few dollar per hour and they will have it back in a few weeks.

Good, but you still might want a gun or 2 after being arrested (and therefore becoming a prohibited person).

They let people bond out of jail (even for murder/manslaughter).

I hope the people who value their innate freedoms, ie the 2nd amendment and all the rest, realize that now is the time to stand up and become politically active. Meet with your representatives, senators, write letters, make calls. The main reason this is happening is that people have been paying others(nra, etc) to do this. It’s your time to step up, and it is going to work, don’t give up or be lazy.

Disassembled and with pistol grip and stock  separate, you can pack a rifle into a 6 inch PVC pipe and cap the  ends.  Seal with the proper primer and cement and you'll have an airtight storage unit you can hide almost anywhere.  

Make a second one for your ammunition (which can be in mags).  I shouldn't have to tell you to store ammo away from oiled gun parts, or that the parts in the gun tube should be oiled for preservation.  

Don't forget to add dessicant packs before sealing for good measure.

Lowe's has 6 inch pipe and caps in stock.  You can get bigger pipe from a supply house that would let you keep things assembled, but it will likely cost a lot more.

Do this with a spare PSA rifle that you can afford to bury.  You might be glad you did this if it becomes the only one you can get your hands on someday in the not too distant future.

There will be instances when people are going to get visits at work, stopped when they leave the house, have a spouse or family member surrender them when your not present, etc. It will happen when people are separated from their homes/firearms....even if your the “give them the bullets first” type.

ArmsList is mostly a scammer's haven, but there are legit sellers there.

If they agree to meet up FTF (in-state) and aren't actually there just to rob/carjack you then it could be gtg.

You have not done this before, have you.

1) the trapped residual fumes from the PVC cement can mess things up inside the tube
2) the change in air temp (pressure) can/may cause a leak

The ends should be a screw-on cap that has o-ring to make the seal. Lube the ring with light coat of lithium grease.

There will never be dragnet door-to-door searches. That's just SHTF fantasy stuff.

The level of manpower/resources needed to attempt that isn't available, and they know it would trigger massive pushback.

It's just individuals. They will target individuals for specific crimes, as usual.

Think about the people with unregistered MGs today. That's exactly what it'll be like.

Because it won't look any different from busting your neighbor for kiddie porn, distribution of narcotics, selling forged COVID vaccination cards, etc.

How about placing the greased up (RIG is what I'd use) rifle in a vacuum sealed bag first, then filling the pvc pipe with Nitrogen before sealing, would that protect things a bit better?

I agree with CryptoKnight, except for the cap types.  I'd glue on female adaptors and use male plugs sealed with dope and teflon tape.

Air pressure differences should not be a problem then.

Uses real PVC not foam core (what they sell in big box stores).  Use Schedule 80 for a more robust pipe.

And yes, grease, vacuum bag and nitrogen could help as well.

If we get to a point where that matters, then we are past the point of it mattering.

So what if they take (by whatever means they can) anything you 4473'd?

Then what?  Take your illegal, not turned in, not registered AR and do WHAT with it?
