Jim, many ways to store a gun.

I do it fairly simple, but live in a very dry climate the last five years, (Eastern Washington and now Colorado).

I clean my guns well, then leave them coated in "Breakfree". Almost any good gun oil will keep your guns good. I then put them either away, not touching or in a special "gun-sock" that is impregnated with silicone. Works very well.

I did have a bunch of bayonets that I left in a wooden box for many years, they rusted here and there, lesson learned is keep them away from wet, keep away fromthe ground, keep them oiled.
