No no no they will change there mind you get to the airport and miss your flight as I did.
I flew from NP to Christchurch with no issues but on the return because Christchurch has a bit more security they help my bags up and I missed my flight cause I didn't have ammo in an approved container and the bag with the ammo wasn't locked.
So if I was you take out the bolt lock the gun case with rifle only and put ammo in a plastic hard case and lock that in your checked in bag with the bolt.
