Iggy Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 As above really....? As my collection grows (6 rifles now) I’m thinking more about storage...for many years they’ve been in their cases (with silica bags etc) either in a wardrobe or under the bed. What do you guys do or recommend....I was thinking of buying a proper, locking rifle cabinet deep enough to accommodate the scopes - not just for a storage but also the security perspective although I appreciate it’s not a legal requirement. What is the ‘norm’ or is the there one? Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 It is a leagal requirement to keep your sub 12 airguns out of the hands of minors. And the best way to do that is with a proper gun cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I only ever put mine in the cabinet if I'm away as I have to shuffle guns about. But if they were worth a few bob I'd certainly not hesitate to get a extra cabinet. Most of my kit is locked up one way or another apart from my air rifle. Stupid really.... but I can't justify the cost atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryman Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I have a walk in wardrobe that is my little gun room. Licence guns are in the cabinet and my sub 12 air rifles are in an old glass cabinet that I converted to hold them. The main door to the room has a lock on it as well.

Guest Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Sub-12s can be kept in a locked cupboard. Cabinets are obviously best practice though. I ripped out a cupboard in my office, put a cabinet inside bolted to the wall, and generally converted the space into a place for all my gun stuff; and it's padlocked. 1 hour ago, countryman said: I have a walk in wardrobe that is my little gun room.

amateur Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I bought a "home-built" gun cabinet from Wabbitbosher, which, because it has an external hinge, would not have been accepted by some FEO's, but is perfect for keeping my air-rifles out of view of the grandchildren.
