Terryorr 27 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 As far as I am aware mate, you can get 1 made, it will be up to your FEO to pass it or not. If your uncle is a welder he will still have to buy the metal and get it cut out and folded, so considering how much that would cost just to have your FEO turn it down, is it worth wasting that money and have to spend £100 later.

HUnter_zero 58 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 You certainly can! My mate owns a wrought Iron business and has made his own ten gun cabinet. The cabinet is a thousand times better than the commercial ones we use and it cost him £70 to build. Make sure you follow the design features of the commercial cabinets, for example anti-jemmy hinges, ask him to have the cabinet folded in to shape to reduce the seam welds and use good locks. That said, I think if you had to pay some one the full whack to make a cabinet or if you were unsure of the design then buying a second hand cabinet would be a quicker and better option.

The Seeker 3,048 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 You can mate but is it worth the hassle I bought my 1st cabinet 2nd hand for £30, have a look in the buying and selling section of the site you may find a good deal there,if not local ad mags. Good luck mate Quote Link to post

akton 15 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 If your applying for a shotgun cert or F.A.C, most police feos insist on them being made to BS standards This was one of the first things that they did when they came to visit my house for the inspection. Quote Link to post
