What regulations apply when checking in a rifle stock as checked luggage in the US?
Filed Under (luggage) by admin
Pål F asked:


I am thinking about buying a rifle stock and bringing it home from the United States, however, I can’t seem to get a clear answer if a rifle stock is considered as a firearm component by the TSA. Do I have to follow all TSA regulations regarding transporting firearms, or can I just leave it in my checked in luggage without any more hassle?

    A rifle stock is not a weapon. The stock is wood or a heave duty plastic.It is not capable of firing anything. Just make sure you do not have any other parts that may be considered a firearm.
