[Full Curl Earl]

I can tell you I see quite a few rusted firearms a year from being stored in cases, especially soft cases. It's not the cases fault, but it takes a meticulous fellow like Elkhunter11, to treat and ensure every item that goes into that case is dry. The problem with zip cases it's easy to temporarily place a wet gun in the field in there, take it out at home, clean up the firearm and place it back into case. At least a hard case you can easily upen it up for drying, most soft cases average joe uses often unzip only 3/4 of the way. That last 1/4 has eaten a lot of barrels.
There are no shortcuts.
