Yeah, I have had hundreds of guns that have been butt down for fifty years or more with no soaking in the wood. I have also had guns stored butt down without any flattening of the recoil pads. I have no idea how long guns have been stored on their butts resulting in flat pads. It has to be more than 50 years, because some of mine have been stored longer than that without damage to the pads. My guns that are not in trunk cases are stored butt down without any apparent damage. My guns that are cased are in cases with lids closed, all without damage.
