Thread: Domestic Air Travel With Synthetic Stock

Barrel, action, ammo all make sense to check in...but is a stock a required component for an operable firearm...

Was no problem to check it in and thankfully I bubbled wrapped it...but not ideal and didn't want to bring a rifle case just for a stock. Postage is easier than doing someone a favour.

You should have asked them, the 'supposed' people bringing the barrel, action, bolt ect would surely be searched and have to hand them in as you security measures are so good.....but dont smile/smirk when you say it.......
