webber Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Went to Chester this morning. For under £60 this case is hard to beat. The dimensions are almost identical to those offered on American websites as double rifle cases, which is exactly what I wanted. Cheers for the link, I would have never thought of looking in Machine Mart. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plexer Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Didn't think drying out all of the air was good for wooden stocks? If a synthetic then I suppose should be ok. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben it wont affect the stock, it just removes exsesive moisture from the gun, its the metal pt's im refering too, a stock has its natural oils to retain its longevity, if yours dont then oil it some, most steel or alloy case's tend to absorb moisture in differing tempretures, take a look at a guy wearing glasses walk from outside to inside on a cold day, comical right , ,,, not if that moisture is around your gun, its just a safe way to store the gun is all.

Baldrick Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Bearing in mind that the exchange rate is now 2 US dollars to every GB pound, it may be worth buying anything from Cabelas and any USA-based online shop. I'm certainly going to make the most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I did consider buying from Cabelas, however due to the size, the case couls only be sent via air, which Cabelas charge 40% for. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 To get this back into discussion, can another tell me what the definition of 'Airline Approved' is? I am travelling on a plane with my gun for the first time this year, and have to put it in something, i quite like the look of these but who decides if it is up to scratch or not? BA say this: " Passengers wishing to take a sporting gun on British Airways mainline flights are able to do so. The gun must be unloaded, dismantled and packed securely in a storage case to go in the aircraft hold (any locks should be fastened, however please ensure that you have the keys with you for any security inspections). Passengers must carry any shotgun/firearm certificates that they have. Sporting guns are defined as such guns as air rifles, safari rifles, hunting rifles, etc. Please note that BA Connect do not permit sporting guns on their DH8 aircraft. To find out the type of aircraft being used for your journey, you can access our online timetable if you click here. Please enter the route and date that you are travelling on and take note of the aircraft type given in the 'type' column. Then click on 'aircraft type' within the info page at the bottom of the screen. If you wish to take a sporting gun on your journey with you, you will need to inform your local British Airways office 72 hours (minimum 24 hours) before your travel date. They will need to know the Make, Model & Calibre of the weapon(s). Please note: There are certain destinations that British Airways cannot carry weapons to, from the UK (both originating and transferring) as a result of UK & EU legislation. This is why we require advance notification so that you can be advised if there is an embargo in advance of your travel date. Your local British Airways office telephone numbers can be found if you click here. Any ammunition to be carried must be for sporting purposes only, and the maximum gross weight must not exceed 5kgs per passenger. All ammunition must be securely boxed and preferably stored inside a suitcase. Any suitcases/carry cases/boxes containing ammunition must not bear an 'explosives' label. Currently, there is no bonded baggage service between London Heathrow and London Gatwick Airports. All firearms that need to travel between these two airport must be transported by a licensed dealer. Passengers must make arrangements prior to travel with the dealer. This applies to passengers who do not hold a valid UK Firearms Certificate" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
