Here goes, I'm Sean, my club is South Hants Rifle and Pistol club based in Pompey.I've been a member of FBUK since 2014,but must have just been lurking and forgot to introduce myself. any way my current inventory is
Parker Hale custom No4 .303
Tikka super varmint .223
Gsg5 SD .22
I am looking for a nice b/a 22, but that will have to wait until I get a bigger cabinet, funny how they say its a five gun, but I can hardly get three in, except with careful positioning
anyway i'll say
for now.

Hi Sean .... welcome to FBUK!
I know what you mean about cabinets - especially the ones that are supposed to hold "x" number of scoped rifles, but never do.

Hi Sean, welcome
I am certain cabinets have a built in reducer mechanism once installed...marketing ploy to make us buy another.

I know what you mean, I bought a 7 gun cabinet back when I only had intentions of owning 4. It now houses 8 firearms which have to be arranged in a certain order (I was brought up on tetris so this is walk in the park for me) to fit them in.

Welcome to the forum Sean
I have a very effective system for fitting rifles into cabinets, I give them to the Viking.....

Goodness me !
I did not do anything like the above as an intro. I am a middle aged man, balding, overweight with a passion for shooting going back to about1964.
Like many others I am not amused about the hoops we have to jump through in order to have our FACs. That alone possibly makes me a grumpy old man.

I thought I had heavily overestimated the space I needed when I applied for my FAC so all was good until a year later my love for shotguns ruined that theory
