Buy recommendations Hello folks new here snd a question

Fairly new to the sport and had a question on one of my next purchases and storage
On of my storage options is a locked 4 drawer cabinet for horizontal storage. How easy at home is it to unscrew shotgun barrels? Mossberg, 1301, also ruger 10-22
This is just one option
Thankyou

The 1301 is very simple to disassemble if you don't have a barrel/magazine tube clamp. You just unscrew the magazine extension/cap and then you can pretty much pull the entire barrel and handguard assembly right off. You just need to be careful if you're using a magazine extension, since the extensions don't use the factory magazine tube cap and the magazine spring WILL come flying out.

For the 10/22, if you're concerned with storage space, then you should look at buying a 10/22 takedown. The barrel and handguard can be easily removed from the receiver and stock. There's some people who are worried about losing zero, and I do think those concerns are potentially valid. However, I also think anyone who's worried about losing zero probably shouldn't be buying a takedown.
