Try 10mm coach bolts 67mm or longer with good size washers behind them into a stud or nog. A couple into the floor doesn't hurt either. Substitute Dyna bolts for a concrete floor, these are just suggestions. It's part of my job to inspect firearm security and I've seen some very ingenious and clever ideas.

You must store your ammunition separately from your firearms unless the firearms are made inoperable. You can legally store the bolts in your rifle, however storing them elsewhere makes sense if it's practical to do so.

Apart from satisfying any legal requirement try and make it as difficult as possible for anyone to gain unlawful access to your firearms. That's what it all comes down to.

Thanks 10-Ring, good advice
