There have been guns stored for hundreds of year on their butt that don't exhibit any issues from oil in the stock head. I have shotguns I have owned for over 40 years that were bought new that have zero signs of oil soaking in the stock head and not rust or corrosion whatsoever....
Then you obviously haven't tried it, muzzle down. And, you didn't address the absolute problem of the degradation of vintage recoil pads due mostly to muzzle up storage. And, since a majority of doubles are balanced why would you think that they would be top heavy when sitting muzzle down?
