Hi

Can any one give me what type of Gun Case I should buy if I am carrying HW77K as a Checked in Baggage.

I tried to check with my Air Lines ( BA ) but its said that DOUBLE RIFLE CASE
But I am not sure what should I choose. Can any one give a tip on this ..
May be some website where I can have a look.


Regards
David

Dave, if BA permit you to carry the air-rifle (don't refer to it as a rifle) in your suitcase with the stock removed from the action, then I suggest you do that.

You are doing the right thing not leaving the details for the last minute.

Just remember to ask such questions here rather than on PM.

Hi,
when i was importing my airgun from munich, germany, the airlines asked me to pack it separately in a hard case. I got mine in a plastic hard case. I suggest one which has a provision for a lock.
