Hello, this coming summer I will be going to Alaska on vacation. I want to bring my Marlin 45-70 trapper and my sig p320 xten (10mm) as well as ammo.
I am looking into what would be a good setup for these as checked baggage and some guidelines on what to do and what not to do. I remember there was something in the magazine that covered this, but i cant find it now.
Gear + Recommendations welcome please! Price is not as much the issue as quality and safety.

thank you Robert!
I moved from AK in 2013. Up until i left i ran one of the maintenance shops for Delta. Shipping a gun used to be really relaxed, of course Alaskans are used to firearms. Lower 48, maybe not so much.
Bringing a 45/70 and a 10mm for vacation? If not hunting id leave the 45/70 at home and just carry the 10. I understand the want for a rifle but it got to the point i just carried a 4" 686 for our average hikes. Over night jaunts, yes a rifle but not sure what you have planned
@Cory39 Welcome to the community! Sounds like a fun trip/vacation. Maybe, for safety/protection, stick some airtags/tracking devices in your check-in baggage/gun/rifle cases.
