Vintage Rigby bolt action

Has anyone traveled with a vintage Rigby bolt action with it's 2 serial numbers lately? I'm thinking about taking mine to South Africa in June and was wondering if TSA or Customs or airports, in general, would flip out over the 2 serial numbers.

I’ve never had an issue with it. I’ve used the Rigby number on the bottom of the tigger guard - it’s shorter and easier to read. If you have an issue, I’m sure $20 can get you on your way. A smile and pleasant demeanor can go a long way.

The issue you bump into will have much more to do with the “officials” at that moment than the paperwork, numbers etc. If they are determined enough to find an issue, they will. I’ve generally had very few issues, and never with a vintage Rigby serial number.
