So I asked about this before and this thread is sorta a follow up. I have a few handguns and long guns in my safe. The hand guns don't seem to gather much if ANY rust over the course of a few months however the rifles don't seem to be fairing as well.
After cleaning 4 guns I have found this much rust after giving them a wipe down with oiled paper towels (the kind that does not leave left over tiny pieces).
There actually seemed to be much less compared to my first cleaning a few months ago with the same guns (like 60% of this came from just the Remington 870 shotgun).
What I'm looking for is solutions to keep any and all rusting to a minimum in my safe. I do not have a dehumidifier yet but I heard it helps this problem, I also started covering the metal exterior surface of all my firearms with the oil shown below. If you have any other advice I would love to hear It! This problem has been minimal so far and I just wanna stop it before I start seeing serious issues.
