Transporting BCG on Flight

[HuntMaine]

So while I always have a great hard case for my firearms, Im picking up a new BCG in a few weeks and wondered if you are able to put that in your regular checked luggage? Not a hardcase? I kno wit cannot be brought on board via carry on. Anyone know that gray area?

Why would it not be allowed?

Its not allowed on Carry on because it is a firearm Part (TSA Rules). Im just wondering if it needs to be LOCKED in my check in

This. Drop it in a fedex padded envelope and mail it to yourself if you're so worried.

You think a TSA agent is going to know what a BCG is? Tell em it's a car part.

Tell them it's part of a mechanical fuel injection pump for a 1967 Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto.

I got stopped by the TSA and given the treatment for a pair of ported shotgun chokes.

TSA:What are these?
Me: Machine Parts
TSA:What kind of machine?
Me: A mechanical machine
repeat/repeat

TSA: OK go ahead
