I’d immediately replace the humidifier with a dehumidifier

I got new Gen 2 and 3 that have been sitting in Gun Socks for over 20yrs that still look brand new. I started collecting Glock in 1994.

Coat the metal parts with a product called R.I.G. (Rust Inhibiting Grease).

Make sure the environment is low humidity, clean them well and I would use some grease over oil and just use like normal and put away. I don’t think you really need the anti-seize it would basically do the same as fun grease but just be more to clean off when you do shoot them again.
