So if you want to bury a gun

[TheLlama]

Step 1.... Buy a heavily cosmolined Mosin Nagant.
Step 2.... Buy some surplus 7.62x54R
Step 3.... Stick all in PVC pipe. Seal ends.
Step 4.... Bury
Step 5.... Dig up.... Start resistance!

I'd just put it next to me in the casket. Only reason I can think of to bury one of mine.

tractor grease

Seriously if I were going to bury one it would be well greased, sealed in airtight bags with lots of desiccants, and then sealed in sch 40 PVC pipe.

PVC is a good idea, I mean, like for when you go hunting and you forget you rifle but you have a shovel in the truck. Right??

PVC is good, I heard that you should bury it vertically for smaller exposure from people with metal detectors, etc. I also heard that it is a good idea to put a hacksaw blade in a Ziploc and tape to the outside to help open it when you dig it up.

Yep. While I have no desire to bury a firearm, that is how I would do it.

You mean you haven't already?

Good God man, what are you waiting for???

 

[HiredHand]

I've heard there's a run on PVC.

Why should I bury a perfectly good firearm I am just going to dig up to shoot?
