What do you think is the best way of storing an AR or AK that is not in frequent use whether in your safe or even long-term in a cache of some sort?
I'm not talking about lube and cosmoline for rust issues. I'm thinking more about internal springs taking a "set"......something you might worry about with magazines as well.
As with an AR that has a bazillion springs, maybe having the trigger pulled with the hammer up? Ejection port cover open?
......or am I just being a little too paranoid about my springs?
Same for AK's, but obviously, the AK has alot less going on as far as this internal springs issue is concerned......
