I am getting a divorce and thankfully my collection of WWII rifles are going to my twin boys. They will not be shooting them but I do need to know about keeping them stored in a gun cabinet. So what should I tell my boys to do to keep them in pristine conditions.

1. well oiled

2. gun socks are a must

3. their eyes.. regular checks once every 3 months.

Yes, amazon carries them. The only way to go.

Well oiled equals a thin film.  Do not oil so heavily that oil runs down the metal and stains the stock at the back of the receiver (assuming vertical storage with the muzzle up.)

many years ago I had to quickly find a place for a few vintage mil bolt action rifles. I gave each a liberal spraying of Rem Oil inside and out, stuck them in fleece gun socks and stashed them in a non-climate controlled outdoor self-storage facility in suburban Chicago. 4-5 years later I pulled them out and they all looked like I had just put them away yesterday.

RIG gun grease, inside and out. Store in a climate controlled environment and they will be GTG for another 100 years.

Oil is not the best for long term, as this poster said RIG grease inside and out. Just give everything a light coat
