barrel isn't. But the piece that holds the barrel, steering lock, is held onto the column with two shear bolts.
Think they be dealer only,unless you have a good fastner place local. Think theym6.
can be removed with a good dot punch,by tapping undone, and put back in the same way,fiddlee but doable.

You could just use std Allen bolts of the right length.
