AEG shelf life

Recommended Posts

Ill be going away later this summer and wont be using my guns for a good few months.

 

My question is this. Will an aeg sit un-used for months on end, then when you pick it up to use it again it works exactly the same as when you left it. Or, will things need tightening, re-greasing, etc etc before you use it again.

 

Bit of a random thought but I thought I'd ask it anyway.

I've just read that keeping the spring decompressed (firing a couple shots in semi), disconnecting the battery, and undialing the hopup are good ideas when letting an AEG sit for long periods of time. It would probably be logical that everything should be exactly as you left it, unless your room/closet/storage place is extremely dusty, in which case a barrel plug would do nicely. You could clean and lube the barrel when you return, but either way, it's pretty minute and could be overlooked.
