Since decokers don't seem to be a popular feature of shotguns, I'm curious about their springs.
Are they fine sitting in a closet while under tension? It would seem that would be a good way to have a gun go "click", possibly after a decade of tension in a closet mixed with time at the range or field.
And unlike springs in a pistol magazine you might not get a bunch of good shots before trouble, nor warning signs at the range before the thing finally is just too weak to set off the primer.
If the springs don't like being under tension, and you don't have a decocking model, it seems like you'd have to make some comprimises for reliable storage.
I don't have a shotgun yet, so what say you more experienced folks?
