This is wise counsel. Many stock heads have "rotted" over the decades due to becoming oil soaked. A thin film of oil on metal during reassembly after tear-down is not an issue but a few drops into the action every once in a while will flow under gravity and end up in the stock head when stored vertically butt down.
