| quote: Originally posted by AKsheephunter Namibia, why can't you put Ammo (in original boxes) in the lockable gun case? I just traveled to and from Africa last month,It was recommended, and I did it with no problem thru,TSA, or the Airlines (United, SAA). I had no problems, everyone that needed to check and verify the firearms serial numbers said it was fine. I use a full length "Pelican Case" like we used in the military to carry our M-4's over to Iraq. Had no problems whatso ever.....Chuck
That's a change from when I went through RSA in March. I never know from trip to trip what to expect from SAPS so I just play it safe and put my ammo in a lockable ammo box and put it into my check-in luggage. Packing ammo thru South AfricaHowever...I did put my ammo in with my rifles in a locked rifle case when I went through Frankfurt direct to Windhoek and it went well going and coming to the USA. I do it that way also when I fly to and from Alaska. Namibiahunter . |

We had knives, surefire etc. The said it was free for the firearm and case but no added items for weight. I just read TSA and they say ammo can be locked in the case but only if the airline approves.
Same when I went in 04. I was good w/ the rifle packed in a takedown case in the bottom of my checkin leaving the US out of LAX, but on the way back, only the rifle & case. I had to check two bags then.
