That's why it was buried
Put anything metal in a VCI bag. For long term, I would use cosmoline as a coating, then put that inside the VCI bag, then put that inside a thick (9+mil) mylar bag (the mylar to seal it better), then put that inside a rubber waterproof bag, then that inside something like a Pelican hard shell case, but with Kaizen foam, not open cell foam (open cell is more prone to holding moisture). All of that would then go in something like a barrel as the final thing that got buried (I might wrap the barrel/etc. in a thick plastic bag/liner to protect it from water seepage).I have more than enough firearms now to risk losing a few to underground elements.
My latest idea to bury an AR15 is to use a harbor freight storage container like this for all the components minus the barrel.

The barrel could be put into sealed mylar bag then stuffed into sealed pvc pipe section.
How long would mylar bags hold up buried underground?
Cosmoline is a better method. A lot of plastic is made from petroleum products. Oil, especially waste oil, can contain moisture. Cosmoline is better in that it is a semi-hard covering meant for preserving metal from corrosion.
Yah, would probably make plastic parts turn into some type of "gloop" plastic/oil amalgamation.
Throw/drop it in the Columbia River?
Most synthetic "furniture" for guns should be resistant to petroleum - at least on the "incidental" level. Not sure how it would do immersed in petroleum over the period of a decade. I know things like plastic bags don't last but maybe minutes when exposed to gasoline/etc.
So…….. it's too late for the revolution?
