VicW Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Your local Firearms Office may be interested if you try and put that many guns on your certificate. They may suspect you of dealing. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Far better to get 4 5/7 gun cabinets and bolt them together as you need a massive area to open the door on a 20 gun cabinet or if you have the spare room and space a gun room is a good option all the best of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 There are some here https://www.philipmorrisdirect.co.uk/shooting/gun-cabinets/all/dept/ No idea what they are like. I have an old Clays Shooters Supplies one that is very sturdy and basic, but I'm not sure that they are still in business. Its also not quite as large as you are looking for.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Whilst OF makes a valid point, I have gone down the multi cabinet route, Ed Oakley often has some large secondhand cabinets for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I endorse what OF has said - the extra large cabinets are often too heavy for the allowed floor loading whereas separate ones not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Oh and just to add unless you’re on the ground floor I hope you’re built like Hercules as there a tad heavy and not very easy to get upstairs just a thought Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rst1990 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Buffalo river do a few larger cabinets, your not spoilt for choice that’s for shore when it comes to bigger cabinets. i purchased a 12 gun cabinet and wouldn’t look back now, if I needed another cabinet I would definitely go bigger, it’s so much easier to grab your kit etc cabinet dings are the thing of the past. fill your boots I say don’t let the nah sayers put you off. ?

Think that company is called custom gun cabinets or something similar, I’ve looked at their stuff a few times and always wondered why they don’t make a more contemporary look as grandfather clocks etc are all quite specific to a style of house but there is surely a market for something that wouldn’t look out of place in the modern home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple design with two Chubb BS approved locks. Only problem has been that after 25 years use the foam padding used has got rather tatty. Police have always been happy with it and it is very heavy (thicker than modern ones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW95J Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 GDK Trading do larger ones like 10-12 and also a 26. Have a smaller safe from them and it's very well built indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveboy Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 If I was starting again I would buy a large data safe, something like this. most gun safes could be opened with crow bars/grinder this would beat most thieves. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHUBB-DATA-SAFE-SIZE-2-WITH-THE-BEST-DATA-TEST-AVAILABLE-S120DIS/151336141613?hash=item233c56432d:g:ZSgAAOSwGiRTp~ak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I use four seperate cabinets for all my toys. One of my cabinets is a 6 gun, but I have only stored 3 rifles with scopes/Nv attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was sold as being solid oak- well it would be if the side panels weren’t made of oak veneer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
