Misc Storage info relating to rust.

Curious what others are doing to make sure our paper weights aren't rusting. So far I've just been leaving a slightly heavier than normal coating of gun oil, and then wiping/reapplying every few months. Cant say the place its stored is overly humid.

Curious what others are doing or if that pretty much sums up most people's "routine" for long term storage.

Would rather not find out that I should of done something different when its too late haha.

Save yourself the headache and get a dehumidifier, hose for draining, and set to 40%. Never worry again.

That probably would work great but a bit much for 1 rifle haha
