Switch Barrels spare barrel storage

[DIBBS]

I am in the process (once I heal from shoulder surgery-so likely mid Spring 2022 ), of shooting a LA (bighorn) and SA (Impact) actioned rifles. I have a 7mm RM and 300 WM barrel for the Bighorn, and plan to have a couple calibers for each. Impact is currently a 6.5 Creedmoor, will add a 22 CF, and I may even add a .223 bolt to the Impact as I working to downsize and consolidate.

I see that TAB gear makes barrel bags, with or without a bolt holder.

What are you using for spare barrel storage? Something commercial or an innovative home solution.

On a side note, this metal table weighs about 30 lbs. Would it likely be sturdy enough to mount the barrel vise for swaps, or would you recommend something else-beefing this up? I don't plan on removing any Remington Factory barrels as I understand that can be a bitch.

I did see that @Sheldon N had a receiver mount for swaps at the range or in the field / or at a shoot. I'll do it in the basement until I get a little more comfortable/experienced with the swapping process- although it looks pretty straightforward.

Thanks.

For spare barrel storage - the fanciest thing I use is a fly fishing rod tube. Cheapest thing I use is PVC with pipe foam insulation inside.

Edited to add - with desiccant packets inside.

The fly fishing tube I use specifically are for 9ft rods (roughly 27" internal length)

I mounted some pvc tubes angled down on my bench. Capped one end and put a shop rag in the bottom.

I buy a bunch of those silicone gun socks for shotguns. Then put them back in the boxes or tubes they came in.

Doing less range swaps these days, just build whatever I want then shoot it for a while.

Barrel storage is pretty mundane. I keep the plastic netting that they come with from the gunsmith, then stack them up in the corner of the gunsafe.

I have four barrels for my Barrett MRAD, and use their bag system, comprised of an inner sealed anti-corrosion bag, and a canvas outer bag. It's a solid solution. The bags come with any barrel conversion kit, or you can buy them separately by calling Barrett ... I got a spare and I think it was $30-ish (but can't remember the exact price).

New barrels lean in the corner of the safe, old barrels lean in the corner beside the safe

In the tubes the blanks came in. Nothing fancy.
