Rust in Guns

[SVT-40]

didn't you just open a thread about this a couple of weeks ago?

Do Stored Guns Rust?

Guess he didn't believe all those answers.

make sure to put a desiccant pack in the factory case because the foam actually stores moisture

Does that really work? Any suggestions or links to good desiccant packs?

This will burn off all the water in the air and keep your firearms rust free.

Doesn't do anything to the water except keep it suspended in the air. I agree it helps with the rusting issue though.

If you do use desiccant packs, make sure you change/recharge them often.

I read that sometimes anti-rust treated gun socks actually causes guns to rust even faster. Any truth to this?

Nope.

Where did you "read" this? Post some links..

If you are in a high humidity location you need to take more steps to mitigate rust. Keeping the safe they are stored in warm with a "golden rod" type device will mitigate most rust issues.

You can also buy sheets of anti rust paper and wrap your guns in the paper before putting them in the gun socks.

This isn't really that difficult a subject to deal with.

But, perhaps you need more proof. While Google is your friend, I'll help you out. https://www.6mmbr.com/corrosiontest.html Now all you have to do is look at the pretty pictures. You don't even have to read, except to find the pictures labeled, wait for it, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX, EEZOX.

EDIT: Oh yea, I forgot to mention that EEZOX was invented in southern California, so yea, guns do rust in southern California. The magical kingdom does not shoot fairy dust into the air to prevent metal from rusting in southern California.

Accordingly, you should protect your firearms form rust. While I am not in any way affiliated with the company, I did meet one of its inventors a few decades ago, whom at the time I believed to be a snake oil salesman. I held that belief until I actually used his product and found that it was the only thing that protected my firearms from rust. Decades later, it is still my go to rust preventative - especially if I intend to store my firearms long term.
