Abstract: The present invention is a receiver for supporting the lug end of a detachable barrel of a gun in a position that reduces the likelihood of the barrel being damaged during storage. The receiver is designed to be installed in a gun cabinet or gun safe and support a barrel by the pins at the lug end. The barrel is maintained in a vertical position above the floor of the gun cabinet or safe. By storing the barrel in a secured vertical position it is less likely that the barrel will be jarred thus knocking a gun sight out of alignment. In addition, by suspending the barrel above the floor of the gun cabinet or safe, a heavy object can not fall on the barrel causing damage. The receiver is a blank manufactured out of metal, wood, plastic, or ceramic that has a slot that provides non-friction support for the detachable barrel of a gun. The slot can either be open or, in an alternate embodiment, closed thus forming an aperture.

Abstract: A holder for cylindrical articles is provided that comprises an open frame design. The slanted, article supporting base extends somewhat further than the length of the articles to be stored allowing for the retention of potential spillage of material from the articles while in an upright position. Attached to the base are two side panels. The first side panel includes a slot for permitting the inserting and withdrawing of articles that are stacked upon the base. Additionally, the first side panel may contain a means of closure such as a gate to insure retention of the articles in the holder regardless of the position of the holder. The opposing side panel has a smaller slot to receive the narrow end of the articles that are inserted into the holder thereby retaining the articles, and, with the assistance of the slanted base, effectively sliding the articles toward this second panel.
