I had a bit of a disconcerting issue arrive recently with a couple of my firearms. (Both a pistol and a rifle.)
I haven't shot either of them in a while, but did clean them after the last outing. However, after sitting in the gun safe, the innards looks like they just got back from a long day at the range. They were positively filthy. In cleaning the two dirty weapons I used the last of my Hoppes, so whether the others are filthy is an unknown at this time.
They have been sitting in the safe for quite a while, about 9 months. I have a heating rod in their, which is supposed to keep moisture out/low. Due note, it was NOT rust. It looked like they had been freshly used, but this was not the case.
Has anyone seen something like this before, and how to stop it?
