  Another question is storing horizontal or vertically? Vertically has the issue of lubrication flowing into the action

  I store all long guns with the barrel down. This keeps the oil, etc, from entering the stocks. Also use golden rods in the safes. As far as spring tension, I always release prior to vault storage. Very easy on Parkers. On other sxs I still release spring tension. On semi's-
  same deal. Just be aware of safety considerations. I would never store an arm on it's side-unless a synthetic stocked arm. 101
