[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1812616, member: 71817"] An old shooter friend of mine used to refurb old clocks. To lube the movements he would take a mayonnaise jar lid, get a cotton ball damp with sewing machine oil and just set the ball, in the lid, inside the clock. He said the oil would evaporate and condense on the movement parts. Same thing happens in the safe. 16 rifles are all oiled up until next season. On 16 rifles that is quite a bit of oil. Since the safe probably isn't opened regularly, that evaporated oil, being heavier than air settles to the bottom of the safe where your pads are. Just my 2 cents on what is happening. If you doubt oil evaporating, over time when the goodies evaporate out you're left with a thick mess that doesn't lube or protect anything, I'm sure we've all seen this happen. Have you ever had or heard of a rifle bolt gumming up and not functioning until cleaned thoroughly. [/QUOTE]
