Should a gun be stored with the chamber open? I would think not because it would wear down the springs. Can anyone confirm this for me?

I've heard this go either way...Now for the open chamber storage argument. Keeping the chamber open allows air to flow through the barrel and you won't have moisture build up and will lower the chance of rusting in the barrel. But Huntfishtrap's argument is legit too. I say just clean your guns and keep them oiled properly and won't have to worry either way you go...
