iluvstrats2 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 California is pretty communist. Doing everything they can to flat out ban guns and ammo. If you're a criminal you can get what you want but law abiding citizens are screwed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Where have you been storing it? Just in its little case like this under my bed: Edited March 8, 2014 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Hmmm, did you have any desiccant packs in there? Foam padding is great for transportation but not so good for storage, it actually absorbs moisture from the air. Get a small softcase to store it inside of, they make them impregnated with silicon that wont let any moisture in too IIRC. Also it can't hurt to give it a light coat of oil before you store it either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tips, I guess I should have some in there if I can find any little packets around the house (maybe in some old shoe boxes) for now. Sounds like I'll need a better case to store it overall though...wish I was able to transport it more...because that would mean it's actually getting used What would be a good way to get it back to new(ish) condition again? I'm sure I can't just oil away the rust right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Pelican cases are nice. I'm gonna buy the big one pretty soon. They retail for $120 but I can get it for $50 at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
