Consider removing from stock, and vacuum sealing into a plastic sleeve

Re: Winter storage of firearms
Hello
What a damn bloody excellent idea.
My wife vacuum seals her clothes but the bags are the wrong shape, medium and large square shapes. Does anybody know of a bag manufacturer who deals in bags for rifles/shot guns ? suppose would have to wrap sharp edges, but would not be a problem for extended storage.
Will try eBay usually get fixed up, and a google search see if anything turns up.

When guns are outlawed, only Outlaws will have guns

Similar to bradaz suggestion - Amazon link this vacuum sealer is available with 28cm x 6m rolls of plastic that you can cut to length.

Use it for deep storage rifles and machine guns. Works an absolute treat
