Cosd Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have a 28" barrel 3 1/2" chamber semi Is a really tight fit in one of my cabinets. So do check overall length just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruity Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Never had a problem personally, time for a bigger cabinet or break the gun down everytime then:) Edited May 10, 2014 by fruity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 My versamax will not fit in mine with a extended choke in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 C'est la vie! Cabinets come in different sizes as do gunslips. I have to remove the chokes before I can fit my 32" O/U in the cabinet - and I had to buy another gunslip. Like fruity says, new cab or break down the gun.

Greenhunter Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I can get all my current guns in my bigger cabinet but did have to cut a section out of the shelf to get a 30" maxus and a 20g hushpower in. There's no chance for any of the 30" barrelled guns in the smaller one which I normally use for the airrifles. GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
