Brillo Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I need some advice please. I need another cabinet, one that will hold at least 3 F Class/ F T/R rifles with 33" barrels and scopes attached. What is my best option without spending too much dosh? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5Grendel Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Well a bratton sound rl7 (i think ) won't take them if you have the ammo locker . My ftr with 32" barrel just fits. I think they do an extra tall for muzzle loaders ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 None of my "effers" fit in my cabinets - I take em out of the stock every time. Ive also got the tallest Bratton Sound Cabinet and a extra tall Ifac - both won't fit without removal from the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Another option is a Brattonsound with ammo locker and cut a hole in the ammo locker floor to accept the top couple of inches of barrel. Line the edges of the hole tp protect the barrel surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillo Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks for the feedback so far guys. A muzzle loader cabinet has been mentioned before but I'm not sure they do one deep enough to accept a scoped rifle. Regarding cutting a hole in the ammo compartment to allow the barrel to go through, I've always understood that a rifle should not be stored with the barrel up so as to prevent oil etc. running into the action. Is his now defunct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughes.s Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I leave the bore guide in with a couple of dry patches in and store butt down, I know someone who did a cut and shunt to the top of his cabinet for 33" shotgun..

gbal Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 As hughes- the sinclair (etc) cleaning rod guide has a silicone O ring to prevent solvents leaking back into action/trigger.Add a couple of patches if you are belt and braces type. In extremis,I've used a bore mop inserted like a cartridge-not all the way-but tie a bit of string to it for easy removal-and reminder that chamber isn't clear! (senior moment shooters ). There is the possibility of slight seepage,though a couple of dry patches,and bore mop should minimise after cleaning-I have seen a little seepage when leaving some copper solvent for a couple of days-some staining on a dry patch in chamber,though not much-again,make sure you have a reminder that the chamber is obstructed,and needs clearing! I am surre the vast majority of rifles are stored muzzle up-see almoast every gun shop,or design of cabinet-those for sale might be fairly oil free (should they be?) but I'd imagine very, very seldom malfunction,because of muzzle up. Ditto most private storage,but it's easy to be sure,as above. What is an absolute no-no,of course,is to leave a moderator screwed on,especially after a WD spray! That will cause grief from muzzle on down...not an F 'ers issue,though-they wouldn't fit,anyhow! But good luck in sourcing an extra tall and deep cabinet. For the unconvinced or adventurous,the Kama Sutra Kabinet Kompany should be able to oblige,the latest models come in 50 shades of grey enamel... gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That bald headed Geordie Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 As per previous comments I cut a hole in my ammo cabinet to take my benchrest/f class rifle as it would not fit and store it barrel up. Filed the jagged edge off and lined the edge to prevent scratches to the barrel. I leave my boreguide in and put a couple of patches up to prevent leaks. Saved a fortune in having to purchase a larger/heavier cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mole-e30 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I use the Buffalo River safe...... Not small, but you can take all the shelves and ammo boxes out. I get about 8 guns in it, including an 8" wide Heavy Monster Gun Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillo Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Many thanks for all the new ideas for using my existing cabinet, but I think a new cabinet is the way forward. Bruce, many thanks for the detailed list. Alan, thanks for the info on the Brattonsound MT7. Having looked at all of this on the 'net it seems like the most cost effective option is the MT7.

Blue Haze Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I would advise the MT9+. That is 1515 mm tall, 407 mm wide and 346 mm deep. The MT7 is only 271 deep and that is tight with an F class rifle... http://www.brattonsound.co.uk/sent_models.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Gents, just as a thought, has anyone called BS and asked if they would make a taller safe, they appear to manufacture in the UK so it is just a matter of using a longer piece of steel sheet? Or going to a sheet metal worker and having something made up to the relevent BS? Just saying? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I've just bought a Buffalo River silver line 10 gun. The internal cabinet only extends approx 50% of the way across and the other half has a removable shelf. I've measured the internal height with the shelf removed and it's 58.5". Tried to show it in the attached pic. HTHs http://i.imgur.com/rOl5ZTw.jpg?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcampbellsmith Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's a long time ago, but Brattonsound did a custom cabinet for me. Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 +1 for the MT9.........I have two, and they each COMFORTABLY hold four 30" barrelled rifles with scopes, ie enough room to get them in and out without bashing the turrets, and I've put a shelf in for other bits and pieces.
