And plenty of those screws etc.And I'm sure it will be fine.
Bolts and ammo just have to be somewhere else, separate. A small Bunnings safe may suit you, and mount it in the same manner.
As said sheds can be damp, or somewhere by power so you can use a small wordrobe heater or the likes to keep moisture at bay.
Maybe keep tools in the shed that can be used to break into the safe out of reach.
You won't be able to stop thieves but maybe slow them.

No legal requirement to remove bolts from rifles, nor is there for ammo to be locked up. You can put it in the back of a closet.

Thanks for your input Jexla. Not yet having my FAL though, I'm unsure whether if I take the minimalistic approach with regards to securing ammo and/or the bolt separately, the person vetting me will take a dim view. I want to be safe and secure, and I have two young kids in the house, and I may be over thinking all this, but I just want things to go as smoothly as possible...

As much security as possible is encouraged!
