I have done some research on steel, aluminum and polymer framed guns for very long term storage.
As far as I can tell steel will be the best. “There are some 200 year old guns still in working order”
But I can’t find anything on aluminum framed guns. I know it can become brittle due to heat but how about age? Does anyone here have any information on this? I have some doubts of the polymer framed guns due to degassing but will include some for “just in case I am wrong”
Of course this all depends on me doing my part for correct storage along with the ammo and manuals and repair parts and springs.
This is NOT a flame war on what’s best I am just trying to find out some information.
