Long Term Storage

Degrease completely and vac seal it? No oils to degrade the plastic?

I have 2 BCG’s and 1 bolt that I bought new about 10 years ago. They’re stored inside my parts box, in a drawer. I haven’t had any issues with this type of storage.

Unless you’re talking about burying the parts or something?

Hornaday One Shot and VCI capsules. Spray with One Shot, store in your preferred container with VCI capsules. If you’re actually doing a completely sealed time capsule, I would vacuum seal each individually. Also, if you own firearms you should own a safe.

I store my spares in plastic parts bins with a light coating of One Shot and VCI cards in the bins. Swap the VCI annually.

OP, I’m assuming you’re somewhat young and new to this. The time capsule seems to be an idea everyone (including me) has early on. In practice, it’s not really such a great plan. I suggest you just store your parts normally and give up the prepper storage capsule idea.
