I don't store any of my guns in cases. I only have one two-barrel set; the second set stands in a back corner of the gun cabinet where the guns rests.

I would not recommend storing guns in a case for any length of time unless you inspect and/or wipe down periodically. I keep my extra barrels in treated sleeves in the safe...and check them regularly.

I only have one two barrel set. All of my guns in my safe are in VCI gun socks and the extra barrel is in the barrel section of a VCI takedown gun sock. This works well for me.

A friend on a 3 year overseas assignment stored his guns in silicone treated sleeves. The stocks were badly discolored by the silicone

But we're talking about storing barrels only.
