American Eagle (Cannon) Gun Safe.
Cannon, one of the leading
manufacturers of gun safes, also manufactures the American Eagle
brand of gun safes among their line of top rated security
products. They also have very competitive prices and also have
great customer service and product warranty offers.
American Eagle Gun Safes also have the trademark Cannon quality expressed in their make and finish. They also have all the standard features you can expect from all other Cannon safes you can purchase. The design and construction may differ slightly from other models but this series of gun safes from Cannon will deliver the same level of security and fire protection.
Door Features
American Eagle Gun Safes have the following standard features. This series of gun safes all have one inch steel composite doors. The lock on these safes is classified under mechanical group two. The expandable seal on the door spreads out many times over whenever it is exposed to heat thus adding protection to your stored valuables. This series uses one inch active locking bolts on the doors with multiple re-lockers and internal hinges.
Body Specifications
American Eagle Gun Safes will come with the unibody construction that Cannon safes are known for. The body will come in a 12 gauge thickness making it quite sturdy. You’ll find pre-drilled bolting holes on the bottom. There is also a pre-drilled hole for a dehumidifier installation.
Interiors
The interiors of American Eagle Gun Safes are quite refined. They have upholstered shelving with a completely adjustable design. The said interiors are also lined with fire insulation to add to the safe’s fire resistance.
Fire Protection
American Eagle Gun Safes have a fire certification of 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, which is pretty much standard for many gun safes out there. The door seal is heat activated and expands many times over when your safe is exposed to heat or home fires.
Added Options
You may customize your American Eagle brand gun safes according to your specific need. You can get a type one electronic lock with an elegant number pad to get added security. You may also opt for a mechanical lock if you’re not comfortable with an electronic lock. Your door panel can be custom fitted with a pistol kit, which maximizes your shelf space at a very low cost. You can also get a gun safe dehumidifier since these safes come with pre-drilled holes for this accessory.

Webley & Scott Deluxe 1000 Series
The
latest over-under series from Webley & Scott may
be a break with tradition, but the model 1000
has the potential to start a new trend.
The 1000 series is
so named because it follows the sequence of
model numbers from 700 onwards.
Guns are available in 12, 20 and 28-bore and
named 1012, 1020 and 1028 respectively. The 1020
tested here is typically representative of this
series. It is a well-balanced gun, with a nicely
curved pistol grip and long, slim fore-end.
Reliable action
The gun is built around a fairly high-walled
action body with attractive cut fences and
incorporates a design that has become something
of an industry standard.
Internally, it follows a trigger-plate action,
most of the lockwork is attached to the
trigger-plate while the sears hang from the
top-strap or tang. Second barrel selection is
made via an inertia block system and the
automatic safety is linked to the top-lever
spindle. The main function of the spindle is to
connect with the full-width locking bolt that in
turn engages with the bites under the bottom
barrel and below the centreline of the hinge
discs. In short, it is a well-proven, reliable
design.
Attention to detail
Proofed for 3in cartridges (76mm) and steel
shot, it is actually, due to its fairly modest
6½lb weight, much sweeter to use with shorter
cartridges and lighter loads, which is really
the main reason for having a 20-bore.
Both bores of the 28in chromelined barrels were
clean and true and are stamped 15.9mm, which is
0.626in. Externally, the barrels are
well-struck-up and nicely blacked, carrying both
the Webley & Scott name and the terse
instruction to read the user manual before use.
Built on the mono-block system, the jointing is
good and the sprung ejectors snugly fitted. The
side-ribs are well laid and proportioned, the
ventilated top-rib cut for a non-glare finish
and laid true, and finish at the muzzles shows
especially good attention to detail.
Five screw-in chokes are provided; the three
spares and sturdy choke key held in a case which
fits quite usefully into almost any pocket.
Fancy chequering
The stock and fore-end are both from
close-grained walnut of a pleasing honey yellow,
with darker veining highlighted by the factory
oil finish.
With a 14¾in length of pull, a drop of 1½in at
the top of the comb and 2½in at the heel, the
gun should fit many users.
There is some right-hand cast and a good degree
of toe-out, too.
The ventilated rubber butt-pad is well-designed.
A little unusually for an English market gun,
the laser-cut chequering patterns are both fancy
and rather striking.
Winged logo
The fore-end iron and fore-end catch neatly
inlet into the mating wood. The heading-up of
the stock on to the action is tidy, with
good-sized lugs to hold the stock sides at the
rear of the action body.
Decoration is laser cut, a little deeper on this
gun than some examples, but with good coverage
all around the action body. The Webley & Scott
name, initials and model number appear in gold,
while the rest of the decoration extends to the
top-strap, top-lever, trigger-guard and fore-end
knuckle with matted panels that highlight the
fences.
A job well done
Out on the pattern plate, both barrels proved
spot on to point of aim and even patterns
without blown or open areas were recorded for
the different chokes.
The ejection was strong and well-timed. The
large safety button and barrel selector has a
good shape, a non-slip chequered finish and is
positive in operation.
Popular design
So, years after its first tentative experiment
with the over-and-under, Webley & Scott is now
committed to this popular design of shotgun.
It comes complete with a case and velvet-effect
protective sleeves for the stock and action and
the barrel and fore-end while in the case, as
well as Webley's lifetime warranty.
