What regulations apply when checking in a rifle stock as checked luggage in the US?
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?

If it’s just the stock, with no receiver, barrel or action, then just put it in your baggage, and that’s it. I would report it to the airline when you check your bag, though, just so that they know what to expect when / if the bag is x-rayed.

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.
