I used to use a light coat of G96 CLP at $37 a can.
Now I use Boston PML available at Bunnings for $3 a can. It cleans well with a light spray that is wiped off. If you leave it on and let it dry, it leaves a protective coating and it hasn't hurt the walnut stock at all.

Hi,
I live in Qld and having lots of rust problems & mold.
Started rubbing Gun Shiner all over external wood & metal.
Internal metal surfaces, I'm using generic sewing machine oil (Spotlight) & trying out Hornady One shot.

Also, Ballistol on leather slings for mold.
See what happens

I use G96. Spray it generously on a cleaning patch and wipe down all metal.
I clean my rifle whenever I shoot, store or even just handle my rifle. You finger prints on the bare metal actually cause it rust fast
I don't have a dehumidifier just a few of those air absorbent bags. Dehumidifier sounds like it'll do it's job tho. Should work a treat
