Steve I have kept my guns in a cabinet with the glass door for many years with no problems just keep them lightly oiled. For the last 15 years or so I've used a gun safe. I have two one of which has a humidity rod in it as it came with the safe, the other I use a can of cat litter to draw any moisture and change this about twice a year. All guns have a very light coat of oil on the metal surfaces. I have had no rust problems. The guns get a complete wipe down after use and all the guns get it done twice a year as most of them arn't used much.

I highly reccomend a humidity rod, or golden rod, or other brand names. They put off little heat, but keep the humidity down. I keep guns in two closets, one in the house, and the other in the workshop that is only heated if I light a fire in the stove. Each location has one of these rods and I've never had a problem.
