       How do you store yours?

       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.!
       How do you store yours ?

       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.
