I guess this is general firearm related.

Say I'm too Jewish (no offense) to buy a $500 safe, so I put my rifles on a flanel blanket under my bed without any cases.  Just the actions locked open with a cable lock.

Will that be a problem in Florida?  Should I put something under there with them to help prevent oxidation?

I take very good care of my rifles and if they'll be stored for a long period of time, I make sure theyre oiled up with CLP.

Will that type of material attract any kind of moisture?  I'm not a scientist.

eezox has been proven to be the "best" in preventing rust if you are going to be storing long term.  although I have found out that I don't care for it being a "dry lube".  Clp performs better when running the gun.  After 200 rounds or so the weapon started to "bind" up and some jams were startging to occur.

i would guess that a good coat of CLP will do just fine as well.

I think the website is down, but here is the cached version.

Usually my rifles are only store for a couple months at a time MAX.  Usually only 3 wks-1 month.

In that time period, will it be a problem at all.  Since the rifles are hidden, I'll probably take the cable locks off and close the actions.

ETA-  Thanks for the link.  I'll definitely bookmark that and look into it for long-term storage.

What do you guys consider long term?
