    Travel to RSA on United Airlines ammo question

    airlines in the USA require you to put TSA locks on your ammo box, just tell them at check in you have ammo in a TSA locked box, no issue.

    Recent dip and ship cost

    just found out Turkish does fly to Atlanta and if that is the final destination then it clears agriculture there and no storage, but because Chicago was the closest to me that is the end location so it sits till it gets clear, kind of wish I would have just left the Buffalo in Africa, oh well
