The problem arises because of the metal parts of the gun being in contact with a fabric or foam liner where there is no air circulation coupled with humid conditions. This a problem in long-term storage under these conditions. Certainly not a problem for short-term storage of just a few months between inspection, use and subsequent cleaning and oiling before being stored again.
