I can't imagine having to soak anything for a " YEAR or So !!!!!! First ,what all was the gun smith you just got it back from suppose to do to the gun ? Would it open when you sent it to him ? I restored an Austin Healey Engine years ago that sit outside in one position for 15 Years with most of the spark plugs removed and only had to soak the pistons for about three months to get them moving again and removed from the cylinders ! I would think something mechanical holding it up !
