Object wont return to its original rotation.

I’m having some difficulty returning a weapon object back to its original rotation values.

on mouse click im rotating the object, then on mouse lift i want to return to its starting position. However, no matter what i tried the rotation values change every click, and even sometimes reset to 0,0,0.

private Transform weaponTransform;
public Quaternion weaponOriginalLocation;
void Start(){
  weaponOriginalLocation = transform.rotation;
}

void Update(){
  if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){	
		weaponTransform.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(weaponTransform.localRotation, Quaternion.Euler(100f, 0f, 0f),0.5f);	
	}
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)){
		weaponTransform.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(weaponTransform.localRotation, weaponOriginalLocation, Time.deltaTime * speed);
        Debug.Log("Rotation: " + weaponTransform.transform.localRotation);
	}

}

Rotation: (0.5,0.0,0.8)
Rotation: (0.7,0.0,0.7)

I’ve tried eularAngles, vector/quaternion. Nothing i do works.

the Original Rotation should be: (14.5,0,0)

I resolved the issue. I’m just blind.

I didnt get the returned value for the original position on the actual object. Below corrected my issue:

weaponOriginalLocation = weaponTransform.transform.rotation;

Then in the mouse up event:

weaponTransform.transform.localRotation = weaponOriginalLocation;
