The hard plastic, foam lined, cases are intended for transport rather than storage. Storage in a gun safe or storage cabinet is far better and in a low humidity conditioned space is the best home storage environment. It is also a good idea to use the S&W paper (if you still have it), or you can purchase VCI paper. This special paper emits a vapor that adheres to ferrous metals, displacing moisture, and inhibiting rust. At very least a well oiled T-shirt or sock beats nothing. Remember that for every 10 degrees of heat, rust and corresion rates increase two fold! Don't let your guns get hot!
