[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 42537, member: 34"] Hello Always store muzzle down or at least slanted downward if the rifle is layed on a table. I had a friend who stored his Remington 721 "stock" down and the oil ran down into the chamber area and hardened into a ring around the chamber. When a case was fired in it, the ring was left on the case and looked like a seperation mark. He sent the gun to Remington and they said it had been rechambered and that was a chamber mark and they would.nt do anything about it. The rifle was a 300 H& H and was NEVER Rechambered. He brought it over to my house and we started to clean, soak and brush the chamber area. With overnight soakings we were able to remove the hardened buildup. The chamber is fine and there are no more marks on the fired cases. Just some food for thought, Always store muzzle DOWN. DC [/QUOTE]
