Okay, my dilemma:
I'm leaving for a year for deployment to Iraq and with the new deployments for the National Guard (year total, no longer 18 months...supposedly ) I will not have a mid deployment break to come back to the states.
My gun safe is not a true, fire and water proof gun safe, with no climate control capabilities. It is one of the cheapies from cabela's, ect. Further I have no "gun guy" friends that I can lend my firearms to look after them for me. (They will be kept at a close friends home in said cheapie safe, but he is not well versed in firearms) I am worried most about humidity, rust, corrosion, ect...
In what manner should I go about storing my firearms for long term (entire length of deployment) storage? Beyond treating with eezox rust inhibitor, I am truly ignorant about how to go about this.
Advice is much appreciated!
