I have invested a fair amount of time and money into my firearms and want to ensure they are correctly stored. These guns are stored in a safe in an upright position. But, what do you folks say about how to do so correctly?
Do you store a long gun with its barrel up or down? I read about storing them barrel down, but I am afraid to damage the crown.
What about keeping the action open or closed? I thought opening would promote better air circulation and keep the bolt face dry. However, others say closed better
Does the fact that it is a bolt or semi-auto matter to this?
Thanks
