Moisture proof gun storage

[AKM]

Like the title says I need some ideas on moisture proof gun storage. I liove on a boat and its a huge problem for gun storage. Any inexspensive ideas? Also needs to be something I can mount somewhere out of site incase someone came onto my boat.

Waterproof pelican cases.

Or a metal tool box (Job Box) with a dehumidifier in it and some weather stripping around the lid.

My biggest problem is going to be finding a good place to secure them where no one could see them with out really looking around. Not to many hiding spots on a 50 foot houseboat. Id hunt someone down if they stole my guns.

The Job Box would work, to most people it would just look like a tool box or a place to store ropes and vests.

if you seal the moisture in you are still screwed. MAke sure you add something to absorb moisture if you go the PVC route.

If I go the PVC route couldn't I just throw one of those burlap bags full of silica beads in it? Or would I need more than that?

Cat litter can be a great source of silica gel. Silica gel cat litter in Cat Supplies - Compare Prices, Read Reviews and Buy at Bizrate. Put it in an old sock, sew the top shut and bake at very low heat (200 degrees, IIRC) in an oven for 20 minutes.

Waterproof pelican cases.

A Pelican case will store a lot of moisture. Make sure there is a good drying agent inside. The foam holds a lot of humidity. They are great for shipping, poor for storage.

Might as well thrown in some oxygen absorbers, too... No oxygen, nothing can oxidize. ...or fill it with nitrogen, argon, or some other inert gas.
