Coals to Newcastle

Firearms to Alaska.

The TSA guidelines are here, along with this dire warning.
Airlines may have their own additional requirements on the carriage of firearms and the amount of ammunition that you may have in your checked baggage.
Uh-oh, better check with Alaska Airlines.
The following items may be included in your normal baggage allowance.....
  • Shooting Equipment
    1. One rifle case with rifles, scopes, one shooting mat, noise suppressors and small tools, or
    2. One shotgun case with shotguns, or
    3. One pistol case with pistols, noise suppressors, one pistol telescope and small pistol tools
  • Ammunition—up to 50 lbs...
Well, that should be sufficient.
