Thread: Flying with a Flintlock.

and as you can't remove the bolt get a cheap trigger lock and remember a hard case.

Probably simpler to transport it as a normal rifle or you will get court up with definitions by staff who don't have a clue. Ie not just airNZ check in staff but air port security staff x-raying the bag will see a long metal gun shaped thing, then its game over, by the time you explain it all to the police you will miss your flight.

People travelling with rifles are common enough at main NZ airports that so long as the paper work is in order, your license, case and you told them before you turn up no one will bat an eyelid.
Queenstown and Auckland are have been fine for me. My small local one gave the checkin girl some excitement, had not dealt with it before and no x-ray facility.
