    Default Plans for simple but nice Gun Cabinet

    I am looking to build a gun cabinet to hold about ten rifles. Not looking for a glass door but a solid door. More like a gun safe. Would like it to look good yet not to fancy. Rifles are military Enfields,Mauser,M1 Garands,Springfield 1903's. A good plan is all I need. I have never built one before so would like to ask if anyone may have a plan to download. Or can turn me in the right direction. This is my first post here and an inportant one for me right now. Need to make it as quick as posable. Hope you can help me out. Thank you for looking. John

    Crikey, Murray, how many can you fit in that one?

    John, welcome to the forum!

    Just had a quick check, but the only ones I can find are pay plans (no free ones so far). If you don't mind spending a few pennies, there's a few listed here:

    Most have glass doors, but should be no drama to convert them to panels if you need to.

    I'll have a check when I get home tonight - I may have one tucked away somewhere...

    It's true I do store them in it.... but really, I got less than 100! Leaves a lot of space for other essentials that are temporarily not in use. Welcome John. I won't be offended if you don't take my advice.

    See if this one fits the bill:

    It's built in two parts, so you can just do the top half if that is all you need.

    Have fun...

    Just adjust the measurements of the main cabinet and make it two doors wide.
