Lancs Lad Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Great!!! Saves me going up in the loft everytime i need a new box! cheers Suggest that you get an old amunition box, stick a padlock on it..........that way little hands cant find whats stored under your bed.............

DirtyDeeds Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 OK. An old thread, but still.... Having been issued my SGC and bought a Beretta, my FEO is now coming round to inspect my security/cabinet - no problems. But I have a 5 gun cabinet in which is an air rifle, my Beretta, and 350 cartridges all neatly staked up the side. I know that cartridges don't have to be stored separately and thought the gun cabinet a secure place. A friend at work suggested that the FEO may not like the idea of gun and shells being in the same cabinet - if anyone does get to the guns, they've then got the ammo to go with it! I know I'm within the law, but my friend makes a valid point. Any ideas on where or how I should store cartridges? Thanks in advance, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Cheers for the reply. My gun cabinet is in my hobby room which already has two tool boxes and a socket set in. But I have been thinking of storing the cartridges in this... http://www.powertoolsuk.co.uk/webcat/detai...674&ID=4135 I've worked out I can store 36 boxes in it (900 carts); it's padlockable and would just be another tool box but in the same room - is this OK? If not, can they be stored in the loft safely ie. with heat/cold differences, condensation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzyboi Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 All my ammunition is stored in a digital steel locked safe bolted to the wall, you can buy them from argos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 All my ammunition is stored in a digital steel locked safe bolted to the wall, you can buy them from argos Do they do a 3000 + size,or don`t you expect to shoot more than a box or 2 at a time?

Browning GTS Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I don`t keep mine under the bed they are by the bed, and some in the cupboard under the stairs. I suppose a good place would be the loft but it is the extremes of temperature that puts me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised, 250 carts will last me about a month, maybe a month and a half Probably be more though as soon as i get the hang of this decoying lark Alot of my shooting is walked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Well, I've decided I can get 32 boxes of 70mm carts in this... I don't know what I'll do with the other 200 carts (8 boxes) if I ever buy a thou, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I keep mine hidden from sight.My flo said the one thing that really pees him off is a good gun cabinet advertised by the shells sitting on top of it.As far as I`m aware there are no legal requirements to keep them under lock and key. Keeping half a dozen in an easy to reach place, just to be on the safe side, does not constitute an offence :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 An old steel double locker with twin hasps and padlocks on. It stores my Carts (2000+) and all my shooting gear cleaning gear and clothing inc some deeks. Just about everything but the guns themselves :yp: Cost me £15 and was worth every penny LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can you then keep it in the same room as the guns? If I bought one, it would have to go in my hobby room - as it is it'll be difficult finding a space for it.

Dunkield Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 MY FLO SAID.... If the gun is locked up properly cartridges are no good to anyone anyway As he trod on one on his way out the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
