Probably happened back east in the high humidity zone.

One would think a Vet's org would have at least cleaned them up a bit if there was some sort of a weather event that got them all wet.

That last big batch of M1s the CMP got from overseas (Philippines was it?) Had many full crates of rifles like that. They had been stored in a warehouse with a leaky roof and nobody ever checked them. :eek:
