Duncan.heywood Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 to be honest theres no advice to be given it just depends on what the visiting Firearms officer says! (mine didnt even check which bolts had been uesd) but im not quiet sure why you wouldnt be able to get at all of the bolt holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 trouble with that may be that if there are no bolts in the bottom, it is a leverage point if they can get something behind it and then use the strength of the cabinet to lever the bolts in the middle/top out of the wall. something to consider - but as usual "ring your FEO" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 i wouldn't bother ringing him, if it doesn't move when you tug on it you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryantidgwell Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 cheers for the reply chris , they was really good bolts took one hell of a drill bit to make the wholes lol i will put some corking (spelling i no) around it as well something else to make the mrs happy with for destroying the wall lol i have put the cabinet on a wall like 5 inches from a fitted wardrobe 6 foot from other wall solid as a rock now and covered in fishing gear =D might ask him to "try find it " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 All the FEO will do is tug at it, mine was literally swinging from the thing so I am glad I used 4 M10's Its not just about keeping him happy remeber, you will be putting guns in there.... (not trying to be an a-hole by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
