Smyth Busters: Will Leaning a Gun Against a Wall Bend the Barrel?
This video from Smyth Busters features Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb debunking the myth that storing a firearm leaning against a wall can bend the barrel. They explain that due to the extremely strong steel construction of firearm barrels, the weight of the gun itself is insufficient to cause any permanent deformation. The myth is definitively busted, with the techs humorously stating that a building would collapse before the barrel bends from such pressure.
