Something that a lot of people don’t focus on is that the danger of rust developing varies with the environment, both indoors and outside. Where I live rust is very rare even with minimal protection. Other places I’ve lived at various times it wasn’t.

This is the method I use too.

I found that the rectangular stacking locking boxes work best for me as I also have slides/barrels/recoil springs included.

I found these small (4"x8") clear stacking containers work well and are reasonable.



They have latches which lock into the base of the one above. You can take them apart or stack 'em as high as you want.



Very solid, not flimsy, and don't pop open if they are dropped. I have some of the singular ones (left) that are just boxes. I have seen these at Walmart and other stores. I got these at the container store.
As sigfreund said, keep 'em oiled- and these fit tight enough you can toss a dessicant bag in also.

Boof ‘em!
