How do you store you bolt action ?

[de-mix]

If you don't own a safe.
Remove the bolt and store separately. No lock required.
I used to lock my bolts in a tool box and just left the rifles in the closet.

Option 2, Buy the Stack-on 8 gun build it yourself cabinet.

My guns also live in the safe. HOWEVER! for some reason, space in the safe is becoming tight so I store the bolts separately in the top compartment of the safe.

My friend is taking his pal course now and the intrsucor @
silvercore told him is illegal to store ur rife with the bolt in it opend or closed
even with a cable lock on the rifle !
Said bolt had to be completely out !

What do you think ?

 

[Wookie316]

None of the above.

Ditto

Bolt in, bolt closed, un cocked in a safe, in a locked room.

I think Fact Sheets from the CFC is your friend's friend:

He's wrong three ways:

If you trigger/cable lock it - bolt can stay.
If you remove bolt - no need for trigger / cable lock.
If in vault - no need for trigger / cable lock or bolt removal.

Of course these are the legal requirements. If he's a pants and suspenders kind of guy he can disassemble / lock up as many parts as he wants to.

 

[Grizzlypeg]

never separate a bolt from the rifle - it WILL go missing sooner or later

That's my fear.

 

[cyclone]

That's my fear.

Just keep the bolt (when out of the rifle) together with the ammunition?

If I'm home, I like to store one next to the front door. Leaned up, loaded, with open bolt. If I'm not home, I'll put it back in the vault. Coyotes, cougars, etc. seldom wait for me to remove trigger locks or dig out bolts. Regards, Bill.

bolt closed, un-cocked

Not enough room in my cabinet so some have bolts pulled. Bolts go in the filing cabinet in their own folders. I only own enough trigger locks for my restricteds.

 

[mrsmitty]

Gun safe neither of those options

Silvercore was pretty specific when I took their course and actually showed the legal text / description while doing it on the projection screen. They were talking about storing the bolt action in plain view what to do...

They didn't say that to me anyways.

Bolts in, uncocked, locked in safe. Anything else is being anal IMO. Might as well take the slides off pistols, and cylinders out of revovlers while you're at it. Uncessary and if anything indicates a fear of firearms that the anti's have been brainwashing society with. Use common sense, make sure they're unloaded and keep them locked up and away from the kids.

 

[jethunter]

I store my bolts in a safe deposit box in another city. You can't be too careful. Think of the children.

 

[Tan]

I the gun safe with out any other locks on them. I did that trigger lock once but when I went out duck hunting and forgot to take off the lock. Had no keys with me. Never again.

That's why I bought trigger locks with combination locks instead of keys.

 

[Mike Oxbig]

I store them in the safe, with bolts open, to prevent marking the next one...No trigger locks, ever. Not even in transit.

Me too.

 

[Walnutz]

Bolt in gun.Gun in safe!

 

[lineofsight]

Bolt in, action closed, uncocked.

If I had more room would have bolt open, air can them move through barrel but have dehumidifier in there so should be okay.
