There's been a lot of debate about the best way to store your
weapons in your cabinet. Some advise 1 way, While others suggest
another.
Examples are,
Shotguns should be stored Barrel down.
Rifles should be stored barrel down (with Moderator fitted)
Rifles should be stored barrel up (with Moderator removed).
I personally keep all my weapons barrel up and remove the
Moderator. I even keep my shotgun in its slip in the Cabinet.!

Shotgun and air rifle barrel up , wouldn't keep anything in a
slip in the cabin incase of moisture getting in and soaking into
slips

All guns facing up with rifle moderator removed. The only reason
why you would store guns with their barrels down is to prevent
excess oil from swelling the stocks.

To prevent damage to the crown of the rifle barrel. Build up of
unburned powder and moisture etc can collect around the muzzle
area. Removing the moderator and cleaning the muzzle/crown is
always good practice.

I just buck them in, barrel up mods in place. Life too short
and I can't be bothered being overly precious.
