throdgrain Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 You know, the ones that are £60.00 Has anyone got one? I've looked and the dimensions are exactly the same as mine, but I'd like to see if there any problems before I buy one. I need to expand my pump action collection!

kshooter Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I have a gdk one from amazon think was about 150 for 6 gun cabinet with internal ammo box, 3 gun half the price, was so happy with it, locks nice and smooth and aldo carpet lined so helps prevent any damage, pleased I got internal locker would take a slab of 12g but i personally use it for cartridges and pcp mags, pellets and accessories, worth having, the fittings are ok but pretty poor but would do the job, if u fixing to thermal block like my house save the hassle of fittings and use resin anchors very very strong😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningB525 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Mine is a cheap 3 gun cabinet. I can't fault it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmax1701 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I got lucky, paid £56 including shipping in a late night auction. The included bolts and plugs weren't up to much so spent a fiver on some wall anchors from screwfix. Seems solid enough and the locks turn smoothly. I only noticed when fitting it to the wall it has no holes in bottom to attach to the floor, but that could just be this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I have been looking at the single gun GDK cabinets on ebay as I need to house another Auto5 i have purchased. Read mixed reviews, but planning to buy it next week I'll let you know how it is when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoorsman Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Have a look on there website they were cheaper than ebay when i looked and still free postage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'd recommend taking a close look at the dimensions, particularly the height. 130cm is only just long enough to take a regular 32" barrelled O/U and only with extended chokes removed and standard length stock. Even then you have to be careful not to bash the gun getting it in or out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just ordered a GDK cabinet from eBay today interesting to see what it's like when it's delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenlivet Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I got a 7 gun Brattonsound safe from Paul Hart on here for £100. A bit dented but brand new with warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Ok, so my GDK cabinet arrived on Saturday via courier and I set about installing it yesterday. Overall its well made, solid and for the price I have to say I am rather impressed (was only about 70 quid). It does have a slightly sticky door but like most cabinets can be adjusted via grub screws on the inside of the hinges so I'll sort that when I get round to it. I have a Lion Guard cabinet from Winterfield Safes as my main one, and looking at the construction they seem pretty similar although the GDK one was a fair bit cheaper. It came with a very poor fitting kits though, just big 12mm rawl plugs and hex head coach screws a complete waste of time. I installed it using my usual approach of chemical anchor and threaded rod set about 2 inches into brick. It aint coming out in a hurry thats for sure. All in all a good budget cabinet and just the job for me as an overflow from my main one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postie Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I bought a 5 gun one the same all good only thing is I can't get my 32in barrels in without taking the extended chokes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well, it turned up today. Dented at the top, and loosing a bit of paint at the back. Not a good start. At the moment it will only take a gun butt first due to the way the foam is laid out, and you cant keep the two keys on one key ring as you can't take the keys out when the door is open. Other than that it's great lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Bear Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Ref the keys- my safe is the same - I link the two with a length of chain, saves misplacing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
