THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This is important stuff. It should raise the attention of all gun guys. I know that I am wrapping up my business and this summer I will be formally retired. So this summer I will be seriously looking for a safe. I just wish that there was an easier way of looking up this excellent discussion for when I start my shopping. Maybe a write up in General Information. Keep talking people, I am watching what you say closely.
I guess that the only concern that I have at the moment is carpeting. Somewhere in the back of my brain it seems like I remember a concern about the material in some carpeting. Some material seems to facilitate rusting. I don't have a question. Its just that I have this warning going off in my head. I have seen many guns at gun shows that looked beautiful on the table. But when I turned them over to the other side, they were all rusted up.
Basements and attics are not a good idea either. There always seems to be a certain amount of dampness in basements and attics will always have humidity there too. he police always recommend these two places because bad guys don't want to be caught there. But its not so good for guns.
I have also been warned about hanging guns on the doors by installing peg board. Not a good idea because sometimes the guns will fall off by accident. Looks good but could put a dent or scratch on a mint treasure. Also, the constant opening and closing of the doors could be detrimental to the finish of the gun hanging on a hook or a peg.
One thing that I saw that looked neat was a series of drawers that looked like an old draftsman drawers for drawings. The drawers were shallow and allowed a good display of our treasured guns.
Sorry for my length. But I really think that this is something important.
