Also is this a noob question where my FAL will be taken away from me but do people store their rifle with bolt and mag in? I have always been taught to store bolts seperately...?

Cheers. And thanks for the vid Norway, as always it was great quality and easy to follow. Good video, not boring. Thanks for sharing.

Dougie I store the bolt's for my rifles away separately but ever since I forgot to take a magazine on a hunt once and got shit from my mate the whole day, I now store the one centre fire rifle that I have with a magazine with the magazine in it.

I'm with you on the mags Rushy. With only one centrefire having a detachable mag I don't see the point. My rimfires have the same mags so they are all bundled together in the ammo/bumbag that I use.

Hav'nt seen a boring vid from you yet Tomo

Ever since I went on a solo hunt some 3 hours from home, only to find once I had set up my fly etc, that I had bought along a 243 rifle and a 270 bolt , I now store amo and bolts in MARKED tins in a safe. I dont intend making that mistake twice.

Is that can one of the ones you can take right apart for cleaning and for replacing baffles? I can't think of the name but I have one ordered that looks very similar.
