Asking for both AEGs and GBBRs:
Is there any inherent problem that would arise from storing RIFs with the upper and lower receiver split so they take up less space?
For context, I am looking at the possibility of splitting the upper and lower on both my M4's and storing them strapped to a rigid molle panel in the lid of a Pelican 1650, rather than laying them on top of all my other gear.
Other than the obvious issues of dust, debris, internal parts potentially getting damaged etc which should be minimised by them being in the case - is there anything else I need to look out for? I may well just be overthinking this.
