" I do, however leave all my guns upside down in the safe and keep oil from the stock and the pad."
I know this was brought up a few times and I must ask, how much oil are you putting in your gun that it has to be placed barrels down? I own a few box lock guns in double and over-under but mainly side lock guns and I take everyone I get apart and clean them, some have never been cleaned and after cleaning I use some Rem oil with a Q-tip. So pardon me I I don't understand barrels down. The only few old double I have with original recoil pads that I want to preserve I will put barrels down first so the pads don't compress.
