I finally got to go home for one day here a couple of weeks ago. My weapons are stored in an area away from the house in an uncontrolled temperature environment. I noticed some pitting starting on the carriers, so removed the BCG's from the rifles and placed them in a tupperwear container, covered them with a quart of synthetic motor oil, and sealed the container. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? I only had a few minutes to tend to my weapons and this was the quickest solution I could find for the problem at the moment. My barrells are all stainless steel, so I was not worried about them. Gave them and the actions a quick shot of lube and put them back in their cases. The BCG's were my primary concern at the moment.

My home is unattended for months at a time, hence the storing of my weapons in a hidden area.

Thanks for any advice!
