'a store wherein stocks' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'related to barrels?' is the wordplay.
'related' becomes 'room' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'barrels?' becomes 'gun' ('gun barrel' can be a synonym of 'barrel').
'room' put after 'gun' is 'GUNROOM'.

'are' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gunroom that I've seen before include "mess" , "The armoury" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
