Gun Storage in Unconditioned Space

[WoolSocks]

Thinking about moving my safe to my shop. Anybody here keep their rifles in an unconditioned space? If so, what precautions do you take to prevent rust? I’m on the west side, so less temperature swing, but lots of humidity.

My safe is in my garage in my current house and was in my last house. Close to 20 years now. Same safe and some of the same rifles. I don’t do anything and it’s fine. No corrosion, moisture, etc issues at all. Western WA.

I have a room in my garage, unheated, I have a gun safe and ammo safe. I go to the dollar store and buy a dozen of those little moisture absorbent tubs. Put two each safe and get about four months out each one.
Going on thirty years now. Every six months I empty the safe, wipe every gun down ,swab every barrel.

So far no issues.

I use one Golden Rods in both of my safes. I’ve only had one fail in 40+ years, I check them for functioning yearly.

I use a Hornday gun safe dehumidifier.
