How the fuck does anyone live with this stress?

Over time you learn what works and you learn to filter the incredible amount of bullshit and/or OCD about it.

This is partly why I don't spend a ton of money on trophy guns. I got into guns about 3 years ago and I own 6 guns now. None of them cost more than $600.
I feel less stress about making sure I'm not doing anything to prematurely wear them out as I'm learning about firearms. Maybe one day I'll decide to drop some money on some super premium gun, but honestly I'm not even a good enough shooter to take full advantage of the upgrade that expensive guns afford you in terms of accuracy.

Just store your guns in a cosmoline tub and you should be good.

I keep my fun in a rusty padlocked toolbox padded with some old cotton cloth and some bags of dessicant I got out of packs of Jack Links™ beef jerky. For cleaning I use a sponge on a stick with some WD40. When something feels stiff I use the same nail clippers I used to pull out my ingrown toenails to remove the offending blockage

I like uniqueness in guns more than anything. Unusual actions, appearances, etc.
Most of mine could theoretically be replaced, at least at the moment, but realistically I wouldn't buy a new gun over some rust.
Instead I would just let the blemish completely override whatever positive feelings I had about the gun until thinking about it only fills me with rage and stress about my other guns meeting the same fate.

The fuck is "over-oiling"?

putting too much oil on the gun
more of an issue with the wood than the metal, oil gets soaked in and weakens the wood over time.

If you have too much oil in the gun it can get full of dirt and debris and basically turn into a polishing compound that grinds down all of the moving internal parts.

What the fuck do you think, dumbass

> Dirt polishing compound
It sounds like the problem is the fucking dirt then doesn't it. Clean the shit and oil it the fuck back up.

top quality post anon

Just rub good oil with a cloth on the parts that you touch and you can access without disassembling everything.
And put a few dessicant bags in the safe and the ammo cans.
Move out of Florida.
