Get at a minimum a cheap Stack-On metal cabinet; the smallest one is $100 bucks--if you have a Tractor Supply near you they will have the best price I think.
I suppose as an alternative you could lock the bolt-up in your safe, but I'm still not sure I want my kids playing with America's Rifle when I'm not around.
I keep my bolt carriers in a separate safe just to be on the safe side. No little ones here but one never knows when a neighbor might want to put one under Mrs DocV's watchful eye.
