    It's called "riddling". Rifle riddling? Why not?!?!

    I forgot to add that to my post. Suppressors get hot and then condense water inside of them when they cool depending on the humidity. Last thing you need is to have a bunch of water in your action.

    I end up having to mop out my Barrel extension on rifles stored muzzle down.

    Muzzle up and the lugs are usually pretty dry after a few days.

    I have to do this also. I really need a bigger safe but the wife won't let me cause she knows I will eventually fill that one up too.
