Buy a Golden Rod sized appropriately for your safe. Get a humidity meter. And get a big thing of desiccant. All of this can be had off Amazon for $50 give or take.

Wipe everything down with a light coat of oil or silicone cloth. I would check your safe daily until you get things under control. Then a weekly check and wipedown.

The meter should help you understand what's going on in there.

You can also get silicon impregnated socks for your rifles.

I have two of these in my safe, one on the bottom and another on the top, replaced yearly, and no problems on the coast.

As a spray-on rust preventative, you should consider CorrosionX. I've been using it for years on my Saltwater fishing reels and equipment and it has done a superb job at preventing corrosion from starting. I have also been using it on guns with excellent results. They do make a product especially for guns but I've just been using their standard spray product.

CorrosionX – Corrosion Technologies

Kills Rust and Corrosion World's Greatest Lubricant, Penetrant & Anti-Seize Safe on Electronics CorrosionX is the most advanced and effective corrosion prevention compound, lubricant and penetrant in the world! Although it may look like a typical oil-based anti-corrosion spray, CorrosionX utilizes a revolutionary technology called Polar Bonding™ that does far more than merely slow down the corrosion process like those so-called 'corrosion inhibitors'. Corrosion-X actually kills existing rust and corrosion (keeping it from spreading) and provides long-term protection against rust and corrosion on any metal surface. Learn More | Brochure | Product Data Sheet | SDS | SDS (aerosol version) CorrosionX is the only product available to the public that meets the US Navy's tough new corrosion prevention and control performance requirement MIL-PRF-81309H. Corrosion Protection and Rust Preventive Coating Due to Polar Bonding, CorrosionX causes common metals and metal alloys such as iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, etc. to chemically behave more like noble metals such as gold and platinum. In other words, as long as CorrosionX is present on metal, it can't rust or corrode! CorrosionX also has a dielectric characteristic, so it's safe on electronics and completely shuts down electrolysis between dissimilar metals. Use CorrosionX wherever you want corrosion control without paint or wax coatings. A light spray of CorrosionX on power heads, gensets and engines a couple of times a year will keeping them looking like new – even in saltwater and coastal environments. To learn more about Polar Bonding, please visit our technology page. A Breakthrough Lubricant CorrosionX's unique formulation offers a multitude of advantages over conventional spray lubricants. Because it sticks to metal like a magnet, it cannot be easily displaced by pressure, friction or moisture. It lubricates under extreme loads and high temperatures. Not only does CorrosionX lubricate better, it lasts many times longer! This is especially true in outdoor, coastal and marine environments where direct exposure to rain and sea spray will quickly displace ordinary lubricants. Use CorrosionX on sheaves, hinges, locks, cable/wire rope, windlasses or any metal part needing lubrication. It is ideal for fishing reels and firearms. Unbeatable Penetrant CorrosionX also penetrates faster and further than anything you've ever used. Corroded or rusted nuts, bolts or fittings can usually be disassembled within a few minutes. Even items you believe to be hopelessly seized can usually be saved and returned to service. Watch this time lapse video closely! Due to it's unique Polar Bonding characteristic, CorrosionX is such an incredible penetrant that it will defy gravity and climb straight up this 3" bolt!! Safe On Electronics Water and electronics don't mix. Until now, there haven't been many options for protecting or restoring electronics from moisture intrusion. CorrosionX's unique Polar Bonding Fluid Thin Film Coating (FTFC) technology displaces moisture and seals it out with a self-healing high dielectric coating. Even though the CorrosionX has a dielectric property in excess of 39,000 volts, because it forms an ultra-thin film it does not interfere with electronics or heat dissipation. A must for all marine battery terminals, and a mission critical product for drones and all Remote Control hobbyists. Minimal Environmental Impact Product The volatile organic content (usually abbreviated as VOC or VOCs) of CorrosionX is now ZERO. Compare that to most products in the spray lubricant category, which can be 50% or more VOC (for example, according to their current Safety Data Sheet, WD-40 is 49.5% solvent). That means CorrosionX is many times more gentle on you, your equipment and the environment.

SPOT ON. !

I live near the beach. Hence higher humidity with a bit of salinity thrown in for good measure.

I use the same thing Californio does. I put 2 of them in each safe.
I also mark the date on each one with a felt pen so I know when I need to change them out.

I also keep each firearm slightly wet with oil. I use Pennzoil 5/20 synthetic for most things firearms related.

I also use silicon socks on all of my blued guns.

LASTLY. Once the guns are oiled. I NEVER touch the metal with my fingers.
I will wear gloves or only touch the wood, plastic, or rubber grips with my skin.

Thats what ya need to do if you live near the beach or have high humidity or have highly acidic skin. I have all 3.

A golden rod rod doesn't do much of anything if you live near high humidity and salt air.

Blued bolt handles are the WORST.... ! ! !

I now have very little oxidation issues in any of my safes.

Thats my experience. Yours may be different.

So recently, I opened up my safe, and found that several of my firearms had rusted. Most of it was spotted rust, however, my HD shotgun got the worst of it.

Curious as to shotgun brand...Remington, by chance??

I use corrosion x over the outside of my rifles and never had a rust issue since.

Something went wrong

I have a golden rod in my safe but I went ahead and bought a bunch of these for my rifles anyway. Amazone carries the Allen versions and they are pretty affordable and have a tag to help ID them. Not only does it hopefully protect against rust but it also lets me pack them tighter since it's a layer of protection angainst dinging or gouging wood trying to get something from the back out.
