FAC Hold and Buy suggestions?

[techguy]

Now that's a great idea!

Adequate for the ready use locker, ooman, but where do you keep the siege stock ?

While I'm here, any suggestions for gun cabinet dealers in the UK? Shotgun, Scoped AR (35") and maybe a .22 AR will be my eventual max holding.

Go for a Brattonsound cabinet and as others have said, think what you will want to own in a years time and round that up to a cabinet capacity, then buy the next size up!

The do extra tall, extra deep, with/without shelf or top box ... a very comprehensive range. You can also get a pistol/ammo/bulk storage cabinet that matches and can sit alongside.

Buy from a mail order company who do not have it in stock. They will then order direct from Brattonsound who will deliver direct to you rather than the stockist. So, you do not have to pay any delivery charges.

Gamefayre http://www.gamefayre.co.uk/Gun-Safes-Cabinets is someone I would deal with before as their prices are good and you can normally get an extra 10% off - although I fell out with them, but I will still suggest giving them a call.

500/600 buy/hold for each calibre of 303 and 308 was fine with my FEO on his first visit the other day, and 1000/1500 for 22LR. The hold amount is usually bigger as you don't want to be down to your last round before you can buy some more. With the cabinet fixed on its back I calculated the top box could hold 2,600 rounds of 303/308 if i just poured them in loose, like the ammo crates in Zulu!

You are all addicts. Sorry just had to say it.

Better to have a collection of firearms than and collection of too small cabinets and half a collection of firearms!


We might be "addicts" but is one which does not adversely affect us or others!

Durham are being a pain on 22rf allowances (well they are for me) even when I had 2 x 22rf they would only give me 600/500

On the other hand, when I added a second .308 and said I didn't need any extra ammo allowance for it they added a further 400/300 to my existing 500/400, makes no sense to me at all

Thanks for all the advice again. I'll be going for a BS 6/7 Rifle Vault Premier (which looks like it'll hold one scoped rifle (diagonally)!

Does anyone have one of these and can tell me the dimensions of the internal locking compartment?

:)

For Gun lockers I have two Brattonsound types 6-7 (4) gun cabinets and another two cabinets same-same as my ammo box (Page 2). http://www.tool-net.co.uk/p-314145/van- ... tAodPGUA8gretails just over £220 delivered, just needs another lock fitted centrally to conform to HO guidance; they can easily hold 10-20 rifles depending on how you arrange them.

When you say "BS 6/7 Rifle Vault Premier" - which make is that? BS sounds a little like Brattonsound but thhey do not make a Premier.

I have an RL7+ if that is what you are looking at, I can measure up.
