Guns and humidity

>>34686439
Keep a thin coat of oil on the metal. If you actually care about your guns, get a couple of gunsocks and a few little silica gel packs.

>>34686439
Just keep your gun in rice dude

>>34686439
buy a dehumidifier and/or get a window unit air condition.

they will be fine if you keep them oiled and check on them every few days.

I live in south and i cant leave a gun in car for more than a few hours with out them flash rusting. But i keep my house between 65-70 degrees all year round with very little issue.

I did see some rust on two of them after storing them in a blanket for a week but that's it. I keep my guns all out in the open normally.

hide your guns or they will get stolen bro. Literally the most common thing to burgle. If they are loaded and the burglar shoots someone u will go to fucking prison.

And also the police will sometimes decide to keep your guns even after the thief has been caught and case closed because fuck you.

Rust is caused by oxygen in the air, so you should store your guns submerged in water so the air can't get at them.

But there's oxygen in water.

So i'm supposed to coat the whole slide in oil? I haven't really seen any rust, I have the foam cases but apparently they're worse than keeping them in the open. Would a drawer or something be better?
>>34686621
I have a window unit but keep it off when i'm not home.
>>34686624
I live with 5 roommates so someone is usually home, also I keep my room door locked.

>>34686887
use gun grease, it give a better coating than oil but it leave a mess to clean, for storage you can place them in your safe or a drawer

>>34686887
>5 roomates
>no AC
>90+ degrees
you have to go back...

>Not using deoxygenated water to store your guns

>>34686887

>roommates

Bro that is the easiest way to get your shit stolen. If not by a scuzzy roommate themselves, then by some shady fucker your dumber roommates let in for whatever reason.

Cheap hollow-core bedroom doors and their locks are barely good enough to keep pets and little kids out.

>>34686439
What piece of shit college town do you go to where you have to live with 5 other people (who I'm certain are fucking slobs) and don't have central air? Eau Claire?

>>34686439
> Wipe down all metal surfaces with oil. (All metal surfaces means ALL metal surfaces. Yes, even the slide. Yes, it's rust resistant. Oil makes it even more rust resistant)
> Use an oil that actually contains a corrosion inhibitor of some kind. Hoppes Oil and Rem Oil do not have this, don't use them. Breakfree CLP, Corrosion X, G96 Mpro, Hoppes Elite; these are your friend.
> Silicone coated gun socks keep dust off of guns and wick moisture away so it can evaporate. Dust means rust.

Don't store your guns in the open. You can put them in one of those foam cases if you put them in a silicone gun sock first.

>>34686950
as a fucker I can confirm that the friends of friends are the best people to steal stuff from

>>34686936
I have AC in my room but I don't leave it on when I lock the door before I leave. I'm white and my roommates are all white
>>34686950
They're normies who only hang out with normies, not sketchballs. Again the door to my room is always locked and nobody goes in my room except for me.
>>34686955
The whole house stays cool as long as the doors are open. I lock my door because I don't want my shit stolen so I have a window unit

>>34687024
If you have to worry about your shit getting stolen, you need to move asap

>>34686950
Also the door is solid. Nobody knows I have guns/anything valuable in my room

>>34687035
Retard. I've lived with sketchy people before and i've been robbed. I know the type of people that will rob me and I know who to trust and who not to trust. My roommates are fine, they're all normal college students and most of them are grils with stacy friends. A lock on my door is fine I am not worried. I'm more concerned of a random person breaking in and stealing shit which is highly unlikely when we have someone home 99% of the time

>>34687059
You're the one that's willingly lived with sketchy people and have been robbed, yet I'm somehow the retard?

>>34686946
Sorry, not all of us are made of money like you.

>>34687089
>yet I'm somehow the retard?
obviously! didn't you know college whores always pick up the best guys to bring home when shitfaced drunk at parties?

literally nothing can happen.

>>34687059
>most of them are grils
lmao you done fucked up. either you're a twink tinkerbell or they'll be offering to fuck to pay rent within 3 months. good luck taking care of them on a budget once the rumors start.

You are a biological product of a cosmological universe. Your insides are rusting out at this very minute. Scientists call it "Oxidation". Get used to it.On a long enough timeline everything rusts to shit.

I live in southern Louisiana we invented humidity, I break all my weapons down once a week and do a quick check and wipe with an oiled rag,never have issues

>>34686439
Buy a small, air tight safe. Problem solved numb nuts.

>>34687318
This is such a cringey post it honestly hurts

Not OP but what about ammo? I have my spare mags (loaded) just sitting around my room and don't really store them anywhere specific

>>34687544
Same as the weekly weapons check unload inspect all rounds,wipe and clean mags,don't use any type of lube or solvent on ammo though,you could ruin it.

>storing your guns in pure hydrogen
What could go wrong.

It's a Glock. Oil it like you would any other gun and don't worry about it.

Worry about the mold that will grow on the walls and window sills and bathroom surfaces because you turn off the AC when you leave.

The AC isn't just to keep you cool. It's also to keep the humidity down.

Your AC probably has a thermostat. Use it.

>>34687836
This is all the oil I put on it though. Should I put it on the outside of the slide too?

>>34687564
If I keep my ammo in a closet that does not have access to A/C will it ruin it? I just have it in boxes/mags on the shelf.

How do I clean my mags or check for malfunctions??

>>34689247
Ammo will degrade over time in heat. Expect duds to be common in a few years or so. Your mags and gun are fine you fucking idiot. Put some damn oil on it and calm your tits.

>>34689872
So they should be fine for a couple years? It's high quality self defense ammo I only have like ~200 rounds stored in mags and boxes
