    Rust Issues

    just wanted to give an update on this, Winchester refunded me for the safe but won't do anything about the guns. the lawyer I spoke to said he could send them a strongly worded letter, but that I should probably just accept that I'm not going to get anything from Winchester for the damage. I've...

    Rust Issues

    there were 16 handguns and 13 long guns in the safe, I think that's easily close to $20,000 in guns. the pic with the rusty gas block is an FN F2000 which was almost 2k alone. plus some of the guns were sentimental to me like the colt lawman, the hk usp, and the sig p228 I'm obviously not...

    Rust Issues

    I wish I could update my initial post, they told me they'll replace the safe, but they're not responsible for the contents. Winchester makes the safe, they told me it doesn't happen often, but I Googled "Winchester safe rust" and got a few similar hits. my wife wants to consult our family...

    Rust Issues

    I know, I'm annoyed... I know you can't tell from the condition of the guns I posted, but I really do take good care of my guns. I clean them after every use and I have almost every gun lube I can get my hands on. every safe has weather stripping (I know it ruins the fire resistance), all the...

    Rust Issues

    bass pro contacted me and is handing me off to Granite Security who is the manufacturer. I have yet to call them though There are no chemicals around the safes, ammo on one side and two other safes on the other. I really think the safes are sealed well, the humidity in the basement is always...

    Rust Issues

    Temps in the safes are 68 in the rusty safe, 70 in the Chinese safe, and 66 in the identical non-rusty safe. the only ammo in the safe are those 6 old nickle cased 357 mag rounds that I posted pictures of

    Rust Issues

    I shoot a lot of surplus 5.45 out of one of my ARs, but of course it was in another safe... it's actually the exact same safe as the rusting one.

    Rust Issues

    here is what I sent to their customer service: "I have two redhead branded USA made 24 gun safes and I am having a rust issue with one of them. both safes have several anti-rust measures inside them, but one of them is causing significant damage to my firearms. pictures and other documentation...

    Rust Issues

    cup half full, but at least this safe doesn't have my nfa items in it, surpressors, sbrs are safe and sound. but that ruger revolver used to be a pretty gun, that colt lawman was from my dad, and those aks were hard for me to find (Bulgarian and Russian). everything is still functional and...

    Rust Issues

    I think this makes the most sense. it's just frustrating because one of the main reasons I bought these safes are the fact that they're advertised as made in USA. I'm so upset by it, I'm so crazy about rust prevention and maintaining the quality of my guns. the basement has two 50 qt...

    Rust Issues

    thanks to everyone for your responses, I really appreciate all the posts. couple more pics, I just used an oiled rag to wipe off the surface. I know the humidity is really low, but the wood is the best looking part of the colt lawman, it's obviously heavily used and carried, but it never...

    Rust Issues

    I'll do exactly this, thanks for your help, I really appreciate it oh and I use a microfiber cloth, or bore patches, and qtips. I usually just wipe off carbon and lube with slip2000. I use microfiber towels with eezox or wd40 specialist anti-rust to wipe off the outside of the guns

    Rust Issues

    it's funny that you mention the corrosive ammo idea, I actually shoot a lot of surplus 5.45 out of one of my ARs, but if course it was in another safe... it's actually the exact same safe as the rusting one. I also uploaded a picture of my cz75, see how the "rust" is only on the part of the...

    Rust Issues

    ok thanks for the feedback, I'm afraid to put these rusty guns in my other safes, I guess I'll just take them out for now. I'm so confused by the level of rust on the stainless ruger revolver... by the way I have some sig p320s, m&ps, and other modern handguns that are showing no signs of rust...

    Rust Issues

    thanks for the response, I have the same type of humidity meter in all 3 safes and I have tried moving them between safes, they're all pretty consistent and the safe having issues is always the lowest humidity (by roughly 10%). two of the safes are the same brand, they're the redhead branded...

    Rust Issues

    Hi, I am having a rust issue, I tried to figure this out on my own, but I can't solve the problem. I have a few safes, but just one of them is causing a weird rust/corrosion problem. All of my safes are in my basement, basement has a dehumidifier that keeps the overall humidity below 40%...
