I take no chances.
Golden rod in the cabinet,and a dehumidifier running constantly keeping the room at 50% RH.
No problems with rust whatsoever.
I am told 50% is what museums keep mixed collections in, don't go too dry with timber.
Dehumidifiers are reasonably inexpensive to buy/run and are well worth while for peace of mind.
I do use Ren Wax as well but that's more for when I have them out and about.

I'm with you and the others, Rob, on upside down storage. Mine are also in a safe and not displayed, so who cares? If all those otherwise great guns with oil-soaked stock-heads had always been stored muzzle-down by their owners, that particular problem would not have occurred. Nothing ridiculous about that. TT

I agree with Jim Legg. Just put them in the safe and take them out periodically (about once a month) to check them and give them a rubbing of light oil and they should be OK..... Who doesn't like to have their electricity on when they leave the house? So, do you unplug the fridge? I am paranoid, too, but that sure beats me. As far as storing a gun upside down- some of mine are up and some are upside down. Some people worry about the pad getting crushed, too. Good luck.
