I've finally created an account for tfl. I've always been directed here from google searches regarding different firearm questions.
Recently bought a Beretta 92fs and I'm planning on going for my chl sometime in the future, once I'm comfortable with the gun.
My next purchase will be a Marlin xl7. That's the plan anyways.
One question that I have, and I've read a ton of answers already, is I'm storing my gun in its's original case and I'm wondering if I can "oil it too much" for storage. The gun will come out as often as I can get some ammo and get a break from work, but is it alright to leave it with a decently thick layer of oil while I'm doing life? I realize "cases are meant for transporting, safes are meant for storage" but I'm not close to getting a good safe yet. I clean my firearms periodically, and immediately after getting back from the range. My Remington 870 is also in a soft case.
