This sounds like a better idea than flying with AR-15 parts. Less likely to scare people, and less likely to raise flags or get put on some list.

- panopticon 6y agoI feel like a flare gun is more likely to scare than a lower receiver. A flare gun immediately looks like "a gun" whereas a block of metal doesn't look very threatening (assuming you don't have a tacti-cool one with skulls and garbage on it). I only flew with a stripped lower once, and the baggage attendant at the Delta counter had to wave a TSA agent over because they did not believe it was a firearm. I never had an issue checking a handgun though.
- SAI_Peregrinus 6y agoMore likely to scare, but since it's in a sealed case and looks like a firearm it's easier to get the attendant to accept that it is a firearm when checking it. It matches their expectations of what a gun should look like. And since it's in a sealed case nobody unexpected will see it anyway, so scares are unlikely.
