| 3 eeks old and already has battle scars. I cant lean it on anything without leaving a mark. Walking around the house hitting the butt on walls around corners. How do you guys keep your guns perfect? |

| Get a hard sided plastic case and carry it that way. |

Carry it with the barrel pointing upwards, just a bit above your head? 
One of the reasons I buy used guns is that they already have some scratches. A couple extra won't harm the thing. |

"How do you guys keep your guns perfect?"
Umm, we'll the Slavia 631 is pampered, for the most part, and the big TF99 sits next to it, so I know I'll wanna keep the Bushnell Banner 4-12 scope safe. LOL
As for the rest of the guns, be it air or powder, I'm not sure they are "perfect" anymore. |

"Perfect" is impossible if you actually shoot your guns.
Always carry muzzle vertical indoors, besides protecting the gun it is for safety. |

| One thing that may help and make the stock look better is to coat it with a good hard finish like polyurethane or a hard lacquer like used for furniture. |
