Customs, yet again

[CommieHunter]

I have flown with airsoft replicas. The first time I didn't declare it, and I got called from the gate. The guy was upset about the green gas, but he knew it was an airsoft pistol and he told me that gas wasn't allowed in the baggage.

Ever since then, I've flown 5 or so times with airsoft guns. A few times with just a pistol, and once with multiple AEGs. I've told them about it, and they say it's fine. I was told that I don't have to declare it, and I don't have to lock it. Twice I have had a pistol in no case at all, but completely unloaded. Once I had rifles in a rifle-bag and I locked it after they inspected it. (More for theft than protection).

Regardless, you shouldn't have to register it as a firearm. Just telling them you've got an airsoft pistol so they know what to expect is good for Domestic.


I have no international experience with replicas.

I brought home 2 GBBs and my 629 Performance Center Revolver from Japan when I went, none of them had orange tips. I had to get rid of my green gas, but I did not declare them and I did not paint them. They all made it home. I just checked 'em, man.

[Riddick]

yeah but they did not check your shit.

If they (customs) were to check your luggage like they randomly do, well you would be screwed.

I say go the safer route and make sure you are not in violation

My bags were checked by TSA (They gave me a nice little note afterwards) but not by customs.

Customs is a different beast, so go with the orange, Tombstone, but you should be ok with it in checked. Lock it if you prefer.

Back, no problem with customs, its obvious they did search my bag, but that happens every time anyway.
Next time, im going for the derringer.

Seriously, I'll blow you.

i always have to take the precautions, because I get searched every single time, no matter where i am going.
I could be going from Portland to Seattle and they would want to take a second look at my shoes.
<-- this guy here...huge threat to national security...and you thought you knew me!

Psshh...I got "random" searched three times flying national.
