Hi all,
I'm looking for the best way to keep my rifles rust free for extended long term storage. I will only access them every 12 months or so. Obviously, oil or any type of coating is the most important thing to create a dry barrier. But other than that, I'm more concern as to where to keep them. In the last 6 months, I have them stored in a pelican 1750 foam case. Not knowing that foam in fact causes moisture to trap in an air tight environment, I thought it was the best way to store my guns. Most people will tell me to store them in a gun safe with plenty of dessicant packs or a dehumidifier. Problem is, my home simple won't have the space for a refrigerator gun safe, not to mention, most of them are really expensive. Given the circumstance, I am planning to remove all foam padding from my pelican 1750, and drop in a nice nylon rifle bag which is big enough so the rifle won't be moving too much in the pelican. And of course, a few packs of dessicant packs in the case as well if I cannot fit in a dehumidifier. Does anyone think that will actually work?
