After reading another thread, here is a situation few of will ever have but some may have already.
Say you have a house fire. Whether or not they're in a safe, your guns are soaked by the time you get to them, either from the fireman's hose or from the sheet rock in the safe. You know that you can't detail clean everything right away since you have higher priorities such as sifting through the remains for other things, finding a place to live, dealing with insurance, etc.
What do you do to keep them from rusting before you have a chance to give everything a good cleaning? Spray down with WD40 or oil to displace the water, drop in a barrel of water to keep them from oxidizing, etc...
Thoughts? Experiences?
