    Anyone using these rust inhibitors in their gun safes. Do they work and can you get them in gun shops or only online.

    Any time I get those little moisture absorbing bags in new packaging I chuck them in the bottom of the safe. These look pretty good but I have no first hand experience with them myself.

    They sold locally?

    What kind of model do you have juice1304? The only ones I am familiar with are way too big for my safe, or do you just have a big safe :D

    I'd imagine he's talking about the plastic tray that you add silica crystals too.

    This product I'm talking about is different to that it creates a micro barrier layer on the metal to block oxygen and moisture from creating rust.

    Dehumidifers simply remove moisture.

    Looked at these myself a while back and the more looking around I did, it seems that the only conclusive evidence that they do anything, is provided by the manumanufactur. Don't have the links to hand but a bit of searching will find them.

    Interested in see that.
    They do seem to use them in the commercial sector so I can't see it been complete bull. Plus they are pretty cheap €10 for 1-2yrs cover in a safe. That's not bad insurance to cover a couple of grand in firearms.

    I have one of these in the safe, but yes it is a pretty large safe 10 gun but you can fit ten scoped rifles in it if you want.
