gremlinx 20 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 A few buddy's are having an nfa meet a few states away from me, 15 hour car ride, 2 hour plane ride. I'm not going because I'm not going to trust the airlines for 1, and 2, it seems like potential for paperwork issues. Has anybody flown with their nfa item checked?

Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 the paperwork is not a big issue, you just mail in a 5320.20, it's all self explanitory, and wait for it's return before you can travel with your NFA items. the last time I did a 5320.20 it took something like 30 days for the return.

NFA weapons get mailed everyday, and get flown everywhere in the cargo hold of a plane with the owner on board . what you can't do is loan it out to someone so they can go shooting with it, while you're at home. if it were me, I would send it by commercial carrier ie. UPS, to myself, in care of, where I would be staying. after getting the approval of course. that is perfectly legal to do Edited July 27, 2011 by Matthew Hopkins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 This 5320.20 form is also for everything except a suppressor...as long as it is legal in the state your traveling to. http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5320-20.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
