Default Airline & TSA Approved Gun Cases

The last time I flew with a shotgun in checked baggage was way before 9-11. Need to buy a case to hold my 20 ga and 28 ga VH's for quail hunting trip to GA. Any advice out there on what is a proper case for air travel of Parkers?

americase makes several cases for airline travel. They are the top of the line.

easy to transport- heavy stuff won't get stacked on top of it- and they don't scream gun

i regularly got asked about how the golf was wheeling through an airport to and from Scotland

fly rods fit - boots and clothes go in there as shock absorbers

Before 9-11 and all the new weight and size regulations, I used my Nasco and Aries heavy aluminum cases. What kind of limits do I face today? If I go to a remote gun show, I normally travel with empty cases. However, it is always the plan to bring them back full.

I think you can't go wrong with Americase, Tuffpaks, or Pelican. I use Americase 2-gun case and love it. Heavy but bombproof.

agreed- i have an Americase 2 gun as well- I use it when driving to a shoot or hunt- it will survive most anything - but i would not want to pay the air freight for it
