No need to pop a cat for storage after the ML is clean there should'nt be any moisture in it, popping a cap defeats the pourpose of just cleaning it and will cause more harm than good with the carbon left in the breech and muzzle. Clean the barrel with soap and water and a brush followed by windex patches or the equivilant, then smoe clean patches then some oiled patches. Then spray oil in the moving parts and wipe everything else down with a light oil and cover the muzzle and store.
