Are you in the market for a new gun cabinet? Maybe you old one doesn’t fit the decor of your room. Do you need a larger one to fit the new addition to your gun collection? Alternatively, maybe this is your first purchase and need some ideas on how and where to find these cabinets. Here are some thoughts
Take your time to do your research. Figure out how many guns you are planning to acquire and/or store in your cabinet before you rush out and look at gun cabinets for sale. You should also decide what types of guns you are planning to store. Many cabinets are just made for long guns. Others have places for handguns. Some units can be retrofitted with an aftermarket accessory, but it is best to purchase the correct type up front.
There are many different places to purchase a gun cabinet. You can find them in retail stores that cater to hunters, like Cabellas. Furniture stores will also carry them (I would recommend you call around before you simply drive around looking for them as some do not carry these cabinets). Many on-line retailers have excellent selections of cabinets including all the various color and wood options that are possible.
Once you find a cabinet that you like, reconfirm that it will be sized correctly for your gun collection. Then, take the manufacturers name and the model number/name and put it into Google. You may be surprised how many other retailers sell this item. See if any have it cheaper than where you found it.
Most of these cabinets should be pre-assembled when you purchase them. Some will require assembly. If yours does, make sure to add some extra wood glue and screws in discreet locations to insure the strength and longevity of this new piece of furniture.
Buying a gun cabinet is not a difficult process, but doing your homework will help you find the best deal and the one that fits your collection correctly.
