| How do you guys store your trunk guns to keep them from rust. I put a pellet gun in my trunk so if it broke down in the boonies I could shoot squirrels if I was stuck for days at a time. But after about a month the thing rusted to all get out. Pretty much trashed which is fine because it's old and cheap. So how do you guys keep them from rust? |

Yugo SKS still in cosmo package + ammo. Also handy is a can of brake or carb cleaner for when you need to use it and that cosmo has to come off. Also, for blued rifles, i've had great luck with the new Flitz with Carnauba wax. rained for 3 days, and no rust on my AK. |

I have a Marlin 1894S lever gun in one of those silicon impregnated gun sleeves. The sleeve is inside a M1950 Parachutists Weapons Case. I check it once a week and it's still slick from the silicone in the sleeve. The sleeves can be bought for around $8-10 at most gun shops. The guns I don't shoot much are in the sleeves in the back of my gun safe. |

Where are you in Oregon? I’ve been keeping a bushmaster M4A3 in my trunk since the ban died and have not had problem at all with any kind of rust. I just keep it in a rifle sleeve mard of old blue jean pant legs (denim Quigley Down Under). Really inconspicuous too. |
mine did, except for the decassents--maybe overkill eh

Hillsboro area. I did just get a new Saturn. Maybe my old car had bad seals. Just reminds me they got a free pellet gun with the trade in.

Bicycle gun? Perhaps a way of mounting it to the water bottle bracket? I've always kinda been partial to shotties for trunk guns. I can see both ways though. I figure a good coat of oil and a silicone imp. gun sack should do fine for almost all MODERATE climates. If you live coast side, you know how it goes, the car might rust out faster than the gun.

It'll fit a Ruger 10-22 equipped with a Choate folder for certain........  A 10-22 folder measures out at ~27" so folding AK is good to go.....underfolders or AMD-65 being about 25" or so folded & Romanian/E German side folders being 26" & change. Muzzle brakes or flash hiders might make it a tight fit. |
I can't speak for others, but I have a "trunk gun" with me in the event that I need it. If I need it, I will need it quickly and having it bagged would be an impediment. |
I can't have the trunk gun as well. The NYS Police frown at that.
