How do you store your front-stuffer??

[Weapontech]

The great debate continues for those who have limited space and must store their M/L's vertically. Muzzle-down logic (my preferred - Properly done with appropriate muzzle protection) is that oil/preservatives don't leak back into the flash hole/lock. I have had some argue that you want this effect to better preserve against corrosion, and don't want to take the chance of damaging the muzzle/crown.
So what do others in here think? How do you store your's between trips to the club or bush?

Muzzle down........

.........or muzzle-up?

P.s. Swords & Mortars don't count!

I store mine muzzle up. I usually wipe the bore and put a couple of caps off before I load. After cleaning I use WD 40 and wipe that out so I have no oil issues.

I store mine muzzel down, the ramrod projects beyond the muzzel. A coat of epoxy, thinned to the consistence of water, will protect the lock area for muzzel up.

+ 1 on muzzle up, no oil issues

haven't tried the other way, never thought of that, seems too easy for my thompson centres to fall down, oh yes, i have chronic fears of dust bunnies and the hair from my 4 cats getting into the muzzle

i have one muzzleloader for hanging on my wall, a low price flintlock traditions brand rifle, which is not a firearm, with a powderhorn dangling from the barrel end. although it is shootable, bought it strictly because it is the only damn thing i can display to show gun ownership as a source of personal history and pride, while they make me lock and hide my real guns away as some sort of shame.

IMHO, if flintlock rifle, go bold and horizontal.
