takedown shotgun/rifle storage

is it legal to lock away your action/but stock and keep your barrel/barrels elsewhere concealed but not locked away?
cheers

Technically the action is the firearm so I would say yes. But why. Limited safe space?

temporally lack of space due to storage of a couple of guns while a mates away just for a week

Yes if you lock the click-bang bit away then the tube is not a problem

Think what those poor Blaser owners must go through if that wasn't the case..

thought that ill be the case but thought id better double check
