I do not mean firing a cap just sitting a fired one in place to help keep moisture out.

Have you tried a nylon or brass brush to clean the barrel? getting the plastic out should'nt be a problem at all.
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.

Depending on what I do, sometimes I take out the breechplug, sometimes I leave it in. After I clean the barrel and oil it I will take a clean cleaning patch or a pice of tape or a finger cot and cover the end of the barrel to protect it from anything getting in it. A well oiled barrel should be fine from the elements. Unless your in a area where it is really really humid, the oil in the barrel and the oil on the reat of the parts should be all you need.
