Flying with a rifle with suppressor.

[Tuffbroadhead]

Suppressors are not required to have a form 5320.20 filed with the NFA.... just check state laws in the destination you are going too.

That being said a form 5320.20 is required for all SBR’s (Short Barrel Rifles)
SBS’s (Short Barrel Shotguns), MachineGuns, Destructive Devices, and AOW’s.

I fly several times a year with a firearm. Most of the time they don't even want the box opened. I put a TSA lock on my bag and a Non-TSA lock on my case. I carry my ammo in the factory box in the bag where my hardcase is. I am curious about the reload box question as it would definitely hold up better than the factory ammo box. My hardcase has my gun, flashlight speedstrips and a knife in it. I have never had an issue.

I’m flying in November. Plan on putting my suppressor, couple boxes of ammo in case with rifle. Is this ok? Also does stamp stay with me or does it need to stay in case? Original or is a copy ok?

Please keep in mind that suppressors are not legal in every state. Suppressors need to be in checked luggage. I recommend it not to be with your rifle. When you check in you will be required to open your rifle case so your gun can be inspected. If you are at an airport in a state where suppressors are not legal(New Jersey), with your suppressor in your rifle case, you could run into a serious issue when your rifle is inspected and your prohibited suppressor is seen with your rifle.

So they won’t find it in a checked bag? How about stay the hell out of those states.

I fly United and have never had an issue traveling with guns. TSA is the delay if an agent isn’t nearby.

I’d love to stay out of New Jersey. But, it’s the best way for me to get to Africa. Checked bags are not open and screened with you being present like a firearm is.

I’m flying to North Carolina and it’s legal. So does this mean I can put it in my case with rifle? Where does stamp go?

[Drycreek3189]

For sure.

The ladyman that I spoke with first in Fl was rude and demeaning. The agent that inspected the case was cool and very helpful.

You read about cops being rude and Hollier than thou, its much worse with TSA agents. We watched a guy in Denver belittle a family over a tablet. It was ridiculous. I should have beat the hell out of that guy

FIFY (in a perfect world)

Is a suppressor allowed in carry on?
