[QUOTE="rocky 59, post: 1637575, member: 100691"] I can only speak about traveling with firearms to Africa but this is my solution- I take my bolts out, wrap them in a silicon cloth, and stuff them under the rifles in their own foam cut out. If you fly out of JFK you will have to open the cases right out in the open of the ticketing line so it makes it easy to show they are unloaded. Also I make sure I always cut the foam to lay them serial number side up (obviously if it’s under the barrel this isn’t possible) and most of the time I don’t have to remove them from the cut out at all to get the go ahead. The firearm counter in Africa will want you to take the rifles out and present them so this is another reason I keep the bolts out of the rifles. Another tip- I use the pelican i3300 (this case also has clasps on the top and bottom of the case, they are kind of “hidden” if you will, that won’t allow it to open even with the 4 front clasps unlocked, so it’s extra security) standard locks are a bitch to fit in the holes provided, South African air requires a lock for every hole. Get these locks and it makes it a breeze to unlock and lock after a long flight- [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5YBGLZ/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL] [/QUOTE]
