HantsRob Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 I have a cheap cab. I had a need to change a lock and every locksmith said it wasn't cost efficient and to scrap the cab. Brattonsound have amazing post sale support and spares. Locksmiths can work with them. Also, great resale value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 If they are still available try a cabinet from Clay Shooters Supplies at Market Harborough. Chubb locks, good quality cabinets and, most importantly, far more room in them than Brattonsound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Brattonsound all the way. I originaly had an early version for shotguns. When I added FaC I went for a deep 7 gun Brattonsound. No problems at all. Recently I needed a second cab' not for storage as such but ease of access on a busy week, needed for one rifle one shotgun. Got a 5 gun one & quickly found the door too narrow I could only get one carbine rifle or no shotguns, the internal safe was too low for 28" barrels. Sold it & got a more well known brand, again a 5 gun version, better but getting one rifle & one shotgun in was a nightmare. Eventualy got another Brattonsound another 5 gun, taller & more room in the internal safe, rifle & shotgun fits better but the rifle is sideways butt to the right barrel to the left sideways at the back with the shotgun positioned normally on the right, extra foam strip on the left for the rifle barrel & the door is slightly wider than the previously 2 others. I havn't the room for the 2nd cab' to be another 7 gun deep brattonsound, if I did I would get another, the internal space & wide door is worth the extra cost even for just a few guns.

London Best Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 I have two 7 gun lockable tops from Clay Shooters Supplies and a 5 gun deep Brattonsound with lockable top. There is NO comparison. The Brattonsound is just cramped and inconvenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo sounds like the 7 gun cabinet is the choice if you have 7 guns! I'd be cautious buying from a company that's had its website down for a while.

I bought the cabinets in 1979. (Not the Brattonsound) I have no idea if the company still exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
