Nice. I have a black one, thanks to another member here, but I would like to get one of the Multicam ones, just for kicks.

I'm thinking of buying the suppressor using a Trust. Anybody know where I can get one of those? :-)

According to the TSA website it can, unless I'm reading it wrong.

Yes it can, there can be no ammo in the mags or firearm.

That would have come as a great surprise to both me and the TSA agents who checked my bag on my last flight.

The only issue I've ever had was them opening the case to look after scanning it because I had so many boxes stacked together.

Pretty sure the airline sets the amount of ammunition policy so if you're thinking about bringing 200+ rounds, you might check with them. United technically limits you to 11 pounds of ammo.

FWIW, I always flag my guns and have never had to show empty chambers if they see the chamber flag.

I stand corrected. Did it change in th least few years? I seem to remember last time I flew with a firearm I needed to have the ammo in a separate checked bag from the firearm. Maybe it was the specific airline policy. My apologizes.

Maybe a decade ago. Been flying with firearms since 2002 .

Also only partly true. No ammo loaded in the firearm. I've flown a couple of dozen times with mags loaded w/ammo and then I put the mags in a Fobus paddle holster and then the whole thing goes in the locked hard case that also houses the firearms. Print the page from the TSA, keep it in your pocket and be confident of what you're doing and nobody will question your actions or motives. Never had an issue and half of the time I'm telling the person checking them in how to do their job. Politely of course.

I pretty frequently will use the locks that come with the firearms to lock the slide open in the box and find that it tends to go a little bit smoother when I do this. May just be perception though as I've never really had an issue.

No, it's been this way since the TSA started being the TSA as things have only got more strict since 9/11 but they really haven't changed as far as firearms are concerned since then aside from a very brief period where you were unable to travel with firearms at all until they squared away the new policy regarding them.

Thanks for more insight guys, every bit of info helps, as I haven't flown since I was very young, and definitely not with a firearm. Good idea on printing the TSA rules.

TSA and the Ticket counter folks seem to have conflicting ideas on what is and what is not allowed. I prefer to limit my interaction with either entity to a minimum. Hence No ammo in mags. Even with paperwork in hand, one or the other will still go UMMM I need to check with my Supervisor. Dicking around for 20 - 30 min while their "superior" who has no clue either is enroute, IMO isn't worth the hassle.

They read the info / reg then shrug their shoulders before walking off. Oh yeah it is leagl, but i've spent needless time with amateurs.

Think I'll write a letter to ATF asking for clarification [Beer]

That's a beauty. I wish I had the free time to actually enjoy one of these. I'll have to settle for my little ATV.

It still needs some paint and some sawhorse hardware. Looking forward to my next trip to Pawnee.

Yea, I'm gonna repurpose some rubber hose from work for straps and grab some spare fasteners. I figure my first shot might do the same.

$%^&* there's a gun owner on another site who has some good ideas regarding washers and or cones one could use in a suppressor. Of course they need to be drilled to size and possibly turned for proper fit. YET he doesn't want to make anything until he receives an OK from the ATF. IT'S A FLAT FUKIN WASHER, ACE or your local hardware store sells. HE WANTS a letter saying it's ok before he proceeds. FMB

When they finally condition you to ask permission for EVERYTHING, it's just too late.
