How do you store yours?

[Ducky]

Just wondered how people store their guns, broken in its case or one-piece standing in the cabinet?  If I store mine broken in it's ABS box, it pretty much uses up all the space in my 5 gun cabinet.  If I store it one-piece it stands barrel up in the cabinet, but I know some people say this isn't the best way as any oil left in the barrels leaks down to the stock.

What do you do?  :???:

Never use my hard case. Barrels down in the cabinet.

barrels down in the cabinet, with a silly semi auto diagonally across a 7 gun cabinet and only just fits!

 

[Ducky]

My cab is designed to hold the gun barrels up, are yours made to hold them barrels down then?

Two stood up on butt in socks 

Main one in case

 

[Nick Selby]

In a gun sock, barrels down.

Barrels up, shouldn't ever be enough oil in the barrels to run down into the action!!!

 

[Beechin]

Recently cleaned guns barrels down then turned around two days later. I cut away some of the foam from one of the slots to hold the stock until rotated.

Why because I look after my gun. It takes two minutes to open the cabinet up and spin the gun around and I cut the foam away because I was scared of the gun falling over to a denting my stock. 

 

[Darkside]

...are you shooting black powder?

 

[Beechin]

Why would I be 

 

[DevonDog]

Barrels up. Never had a problem in over 40 years. Although I never have excess oil in the barrels.

 

[Darkside]

Why would I be 

Trying to think of something that needs cleaning to the extent that the gun has to be 'drained' after cleaning... :huh:

I was told, if you can see the oil, there's too much on the metal work :baby: . Stored barrels down, trigger nearest the door.

 

[Will Hewland]

99% sure barrels up is fine for lightly oiled guns, but it costs nothing to be 100% sure in this case.

Agree me neither thirty years barrel up.  

I like to live dangerously

 

[Beechin]

My gun Is never drenched in oil I just do it to be on the safe side I really don't want to be shelling out for a new stock if storing it barrels means I don't have to.

I think this barrel down malarkey is a bit of a myth.
