check how many fixing holes there are in the cabinet, that's how many bolts you need doofus, and m10 minimum, to an external or solid wall where possible, unless you live in a tent or caravan, or a prefab, then you're in for some bother

get a bigger one then you think you will need, some 3 gun cabinets are cramped.

im going for a 5 full gun

good choice if you top and tail them you can get 10 in

Ive got four bolt into the back wall and its screwed to the floor as well ,as said get as big a one as you can afford saves changing it later

[jackinbox99 41]

As many bolts as will make it secure really. I usually put between 4 and 6 on mine depending on what sort of wall its going on. External walls are usually best as they are pretty solid. Use the heavy duty expanding massonary rawl plugs. If you feel you need more, you can always drill a couple of extra holes in the back of your cabinet.

 

My current cabinet has about 6 bolting it to the wall, then I used a couple of big coach bolts to bolt it to the floor boards also. It isnt going anywhere in a hurry.

 

The FEO doesnt actually look inside the cabinet and count the bolts you have. If they do check the cabinet its usually just a little tug to see if its secure enough. They certainly dont start jumping about on it or getting a crow bar out.

just a quick tip, try using chemfix to anchor the bolts to the wall, and dome headed nuts to help prevent scratching your guns
