I'd like to seal up some AR bolt rebuild kits in baggies to last 25 years or more. Bolt, firing pin, cam pin, FP retainer etc.
I currently have them slathered in lithium grease but am wondering if there is a better option. Thoughts? |

 Attached FileWhat I use. No idea about 25 yrs but it does one hell of a job protecting metals on the slow boats to China. |

Read MIL-STD-2073 - Standard Practice for Military Packaging . . . Can't do better for long term storage. |
