When I apply Rem Oil to my Baby Eagle, it seems extremely oily. How long should I let the Rem Oil sit on my eagle before wiping it off? Should I just let it dry on there?

There should be a light soft glow to all the parts you desire to oiled and the ones you don't should be wiped almost dry. If there is any excess oil in unwanted places, bad things can happen. The rapidly expanding gases from a cartridge being fired need some place to escape to, and if that oil blocks them you could be in for some trouble. I actually have a baby eagle as well. Isn't it a sweet friggin gun? I love mine. It is a lot of gun for the price too! Anyway, I break my baby down and oil all the internal parts and wipe them dry and then do it again, that way I get all that firing residue away from anything moving. Once I lightly oil them, I check to see if any oil wants to pool in any parts and if there is any, I soak it up until there is that soft glow I told you about. I do the same thing with the rest of the baby's parts and then wipe the whole thing down with a cloth really lightly oiled in Rem Oil. It seems to work for me, my gun cycles perfectly and never any missfires or jams. Hope this helps!

It certainly depends on the finish of your baby eagle. If it is all stainless you should not need to leave a coating on there because rust shouldn't be an issue. However if there are porous areas on it I would wipe it down with just enough oil to get in the pores to keep rust from creeping up on you.
If your gun is blued steel you should store it with a light film all over it.

You can wipe the excess off right away. Rem oil is VERY TOXIC as indicated by the label, so wash your hands before eating or putting anything in your mouth, otherwise you will NOT wake up one day.

If you apply the Rem-Oil with a small cloth you will not have a problem. If you are going to sit around waiting on it to dry, don't hold your breath, because it will never dry.

I put the oil on a cloth and then lightly wipe the gun, until it has a shine to it. This has worked the best for me.
In your case, if it looks excessively oily, wipe oil off until it has a light surface coat of oil.

Matt nailed it pretty good.
I generally apply it to a soft cloth and give the gun a wipe down, or spray the gun and then wipe it down with a soft cloth.
Don't saturate the gun, it is unnecessary. A light coat of oil is preferable to too much oil.

Lightly spray, wipe, then blow it from front to back with compressed air and rewipe. This gives you a thin film, which is all you need.
