Someone tell me I'm wrong but storing bolts separate is a Police recommendation rather than a legislated requirement. At least I hope that's the case.

You Ponder a very valid point . I left 2 rifles in a mates safe for safe keeping while i was away . It was his habit to keep the bolts separate . Unfortunately a heart attack killed him . His widow made contact to say "son " is sorting out the gun safe , what would you like to do about your rifles in there ? I said ( knowing son was FAL holder) i will collect them from him .... got another call from son . Sorry mate , DAD hid all the bolts cant find any of them . ....
