Does the TSA use the same firearm definition as BATFE?
I just ordered a couple of conversion kits for my Sig P250.
If the TSA uses the same definition as ATF- that the firearm is the frame, then only the frame has to be in the locked hard-sided container. Everything else is just parts and could be located elsewhere in the checked baggage.
But if they define the firearm as the frame and parts, I have to use a bigger case, and get everything locked in there.
Has anyone here flown with firearm parts, outside a locked container, in checked baggage?
