I`ll have to fly with several of my childhood airguns and likely need two rifle cases to fit them. Looking at Amazon, it seems even the cheapest TSA approved cases are 50.00ea. Is that correct?? It's been years since Ive bought a simple gun case, but I remember them being quite inexpensive.

As I understand it, I need TSA locks for the cases as well and have to treat them like regular firearms and follow same procedures.

Im in a situation where I have to get it right.

Any tips or suggestions?

Thanks.

Save yourself the head ache and ship the gun to your destination, they will there before you. You can travel without all thew Bullshit with TSA.

And then save yourself a ton of money by making an account on pirateship.com and printing out your own shipping label.

Fairly common to travel by air with an airgun. You should check out USA Shooting's general travel information. Lots of internations shooters use PCP or CO2 airguns. Depending on type, the cylinder needs to be de-pressurized. That being said, shipping is a viable option.

Shipping is not an option for me in this case. One of my destinations is outside the US and the customs issues are more involved than transporting cases myself.
