    Justin,

    I was going to add a reply but I seem it would be useless to try to influence your thought with fact.

    OP,

    It seems as if you believe it's possible and then use the "crankshaft" theory to prove it. Which begs the question of why ask in the first place?

    Yep. Or maybe the Porsche mechanics needed to justify their sweet crank storage rack. It *is* important to protect the bearing lands, though. Hence, a gucchi crank-holder for the guys who rebuild engines every 12 hours.

    Justin_247 is right. robm's smoking some good stuff.
    Oh no, not another lube thread! Read this first: Lubrication 101.

    I think the only way you could cause a barrel to go out of true is to apply a constant AND SUBSTANTIAL load on it while being stored. These barrels are spec'd to withstand some fairly substantial forces, and I don't see material deformation/creep being something to worry about.

    If I store my rifle vertically for long enough is the rifling in the barrel going to slide down into my upper receiver?
