Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Anyone else having rust problems this year?
I'm assuming its because of the humidity that we've had this year. I've never had this much of a rust problem in the 7 years I've lived in CO. I've pulled out numerous items out of the safe to only find a bunch of rust on them. Luckily its just surface rust and it all just wipes away, but its still makes the heart skip a beat.
Anyone know of any good rust inhibitors for the safe?

Yes a little. I just check and oil more often.

Never had rust issues. Not even when I lived down on the Gulf Coast. Keep them clean and lube them before you store them and they should be fine.
You probably need one of these...

I only own 1 gun that I need to worry about rust with: a '94 Winchester 94 in .30-30. I check it regularly.

This reminds me I haven't had the 7mag out of the safe for quite some time. Might be time to pull it out and clean it up a bit and re-lube it.
Likewise, as i wonder where that silicone gun wipe is. Then again, i don't clean them.Originally Posted by ray1970

Thanks for the reminder, guys. It was indeed time to recharge the big silica gel can in the safe.

You guys and gals with swamp coolers need to check your guns quite often for surface rust.
