    Gun cabinets

    Over the years I've often had Mark's on my guns through cocking bolts off other guns and lock edges in the cabinets, I've recently sold a lot of my guns so now down to a couple of cabinets , Ive taken the holders off inside so the cabinets are npba inside , All my guns now are inside cases and standing next to each other, They are in a separate room in the house and wanted to ask would they be at any risk left inside gun cases inside of the cabinets, Cheers.

    Good question. The gun cases would need to be completely dry to start with. If you've been out all day in damp conditions I would want to dry them thoroughly.
    The other concern would be how long would the guns sit in the cabinet between outings?

    An alternative would be a 'sock'. JSR sell these for less than six quid on eday.

    Regards Mike

    I've got a separate case for taking the guns out , Saying that them socks look great , I may just order a couple and if they fit the scoped ones then I can always order some more, On the other hand they would be ideal to take the gun shooting rather than lug a case over the shoulder. Could be the answer,

    Or do it properly, find a shop that sells foam, to replace seat cushions etc, & make custom spacer's for the cabinets.

    Would be handy but the locks still stick out on the doors and it's a bugger if you want the guns on the right.
