can anyone recommend a dehumidifier for a rifle safe? Tanks |
|
Get a Golden Rod. I got mine from Brownell's. I live in the humidity capitol of North America, and have never had any rust on my guns from having them stored in the safe. I use desiccant packs for stuff not stored in the safe, like ammo cans. ETA: I've never heard about electric dehumidifiers "damaging" guns. Maybe if you rested a wood stock directly on one for an extended period of time, it might cause some damage, maybe. I've never heard of that happening, either. |
| I've been cycling a metric crapload of dessicant in my safe for years (most of it graciously provided by WWoodworth). But lately, I've found that Damp Rid does a fantastic job of sucking moisture out for very little money. That, coupled with a dehumidifier in the basement works well for me. The dehumidifier costs a lot to run, but I don't have much choice on that. |
+1 on the Damp Rid $5 gets you a couple buckets and they last a long time. The one I'm using now I've used for 4 months, plenty of crystals left. FWIW, I use Damp Rid in a small 14 gun safe. I believe it was developed for basement owners...might be the reason it works so well in smaller confined spaces. |
