Yes, there is always moisture in wood. Couple that with what could have been salts in the wood, or applied to the wood via perspiration, and BINGO: you have an electrolye.
Despite what I consider way above average attention and care, I have had a few guns suffer from proximity to the salt: the salt water aerosol carries how far inland?
