Rust prevention

[JoyMarie]

With all this heat and humidity, I feel like I'm in a constant battle against surface rust. I'm curious, what products or storage solutions have you found to help keep your firearms protected in this climate? I could use some good tips!

To help maintain my firearms safe and sound, I’ve got a GoldenRod dehumidifier inside my safe. It does a great job of keeping the humidity low and stopping any condensation from ruining things. I usually throw in a couple of rechargeable silica gel packs too just to amp up the moisture control. Each gun is wrapped up in a treated gun sock, which not only offers extra protection but also helps avoid any metal-on-metal contact.

Hope it doesn’t fail.

Don’t keep them in those foam-lined cases for a long time. The foam can really soak up moisture, almost like a sponge, which isn’t nice for your gear. If you absolutely need to use a case, I’d suggest putting in a desiccant pack and checking it every month or so.
