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

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.

some plastic wrap, and then cut the seal off one of her bags, perfect size bags each time
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.

So the stuff we get at work for this purpose comes as a roll and you just heat crimp the ends and vacuum the open end and seal

Light coat of oil will make it perfect.

Thats the stuff!

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