I just got my first gun safe, and after putting the sucker in place I noticed that it came with two pouches of silica gel inside it to keep the internal carpeting dry. I was about to toss them out when I realized that maybe leaving them inside was not a bad idea.
Would leaving a dessicant such as silica gel inside a gun safe help to keep wooden stocks in good condition after long term storage? Normally firearms are stored in cosmoline or other oily preservatives, but maybe keeping a gun safe low in moisture is a good idea.
Any thoughts?
