gun cabinet

#1 Post by piroflip »

hi guys

where do you get your gun cabinets from?
i'm looking for perhaps a six rifle deep and a secure ammo cabinet.

the cabinets at my local gun shop (which i will support with firearms purchases) are rather expensive.

well the obvious other choice is Evil Bay, if you have other RFD's in your area have a chat with them.

Words of advice re cabinets, make sure you buy bigger that you think you need, scoped rifles take up lots of room :good: Buy bigger and cry once :lol: :lol:

Bought mine from http://safes-shop.co.uk. They were responsive to e-mails and informative, and delivered as agreed. Haven't had it inspected yet, but that would be more of a product/manufacturer issue, if anything.

There are a number of other online sellers.

Buying on-line is going to be the cheapest option and even then a lot of the people listing them simply have trade accounts with the main suppliers who will ship to you direct. I would echo 20series's comments, you are going to need a bigger safe than you think as they never manage to hold what they say in the real world.

thanks for all the replies.

i already have one cabinet, left over from my FB pistol days.

a six rifle one next to it will give me plenty of storage space.
