    Maybe just me, but priority must be your young daughter not coming to any harm?

    Another alternative, Craigy, if we're just talking sub-12 airguns, could be an old wardrobe? Made suitably secure for not much work and often available very cheaply.

    My other half treated me to a second hand sturdy pine one many years ago and it serves very well.

    Safe

    Just a heads up.
    I bought a second had five gun Brattonsound age unknown. After a while the lock refused lock, Key would just not turn
    Phoned Brattonsound in a panic and after describing the safe they sent me a brand new lock with keys by courier and FOC.
    When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!

    Good idea mate. However I could chuck Sarah’s clothes into the spare room and use the brand new one Ive just bought.
    I’ll tell her it was your idea - cheers pal..

    Legislation be damned! What's wrong with a few air rifles lovingly decorated to match Elsa's dress?

    you don’t realise how accurate that description is...

    However, my other concern that I perhaps should have mentioned is my bullterrier who takes pleasure in destroying my daughters creations.

    ...along with sets of garden furniture, wallets, tumble driers, dry lined walls, etc, etc...

    As you can see, if I don’t take these measures it’s just a matter of time really...

    So MrB's in fine form then, Craigy?

    Could start a new trend in "custom stippled" stocks.

    I’ve literally just come downstairs with the remains of our sons Moses basket (as of yet, unused), which Mr. Bronson had taken an interest in and I had foolishly taken an eye off him for thirty seconds or so.

    So yes, mate - he’s right as bleedin’ rain...
