How do you store your extra barrels?
« on: March 16, 2005, 03:19:06 AM »
I am starting on my Encore collection and was wondering how you guys store your extra barrels.
 Do you have a case for the action and all the barrels or do you just stack them in the safe?
 Also do you mark your barrels for identification in case they are stolen and if yes, how?
 I was thinking of using a stamp set on the bottom of the lug.

 Thanks for all replies.

I have mine in a large Pelican case with foam inserts
Holds them very nice. Holds the frames and barrels up to 16in.

I am getting a safe soon.  I was planning to use wodden dowels attached to a 1 ft long 2x4 or something to keep the scope clear of the floor of the safe.  Just slide the barrel over the dowel.

I suppose another option would be to cut a piece of PVC pipe that could slide over the lug and breech end.

I have yet to do this because I do not have all the tools (and skills)

Get a few nice pieces of oak strips and use a router and cut a channel on the top of one then use the router and cut notches in the side or them both.

Get some dow rods the size of the pin holes and cut them just long enough to extend past the lug.

mount the oak strip with the channel on top to a wall ( inside a nice wooden gun cabinet) then mount the one with just the notches in the side about 9 inches down.

You then just put the barrels in the notches and use the dow row to support it the top channel is to keep the dow rod for moving.
you Can even do this in a gun safe.

I store mine in the safe on extra frames. Its a little expensive. Barrels are interchangable but its too big a hassle for me.
