Zoomy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I am flying with guns and a stripped AR-10 lower. Would I have to pack and declare the AR-10 lower as if it was a complete firearm? My gut says yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) I'm not a lawyer, nor have I stayed in a holiday inn for quite some time. My take is that I'd declare it and treat it as I would a complete firearm. I'm basing this on the fact it is the serialized portion, and if you shipped it by common carrier (ups or fed ex) in full compliance you'd do so as a firearm. There isn't a big downside doing it that way, and which way would you rather be wrong?? Edited February 13, 2016 by fishsticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Lower=serial #=gun. Yes, you need to declare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troupe Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 If you don't declare it, and it is found, YOU WILL BE TALKING TO THE FBI AND HOMELAND SECURITY !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerba Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 there's no harm in declaring it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eern Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Definitely declare. All they are going to see is a gun and the fact you did not declare such thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach1soldier Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I declared an upper once. Glad I did since I got to sit at tsa for two hours while they researched what constituted a firearm. Technically it's not a firearm but with tsa, declare everything and let them sort it out. Can't hurt, just get to airport early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
