Oz Hunter.

Respectfully and for your own comfort, it dosen't matter what Quantas let you do. The firearm in one case ammo in another is NOT an airline regulation, it is an IATA regulation.
Quantas do not have the authority to override that regulation. If you transit through a hub and the case is examined or scanned it WILL be pulled off the flight.Unless it is a direct flight, it is not worth the risk and even then I don't think I would take the chance because the security of flights is done by the airport authority and not the airline.

DD It was a bit tounge in cheek. There is a thread in the other impolite place, discusssing putting scopes in the hand baggage. What I was getting at was that for the purposes of transport from, to, through or via the US, a scope is a firearm component by definition and must be checked in with the rifle. I understand the difference from a permenent export lisence. I apologise for any confusion I caused.

BTW for all . The 5 kg of ammo regulation relates to the weight of the ammo itself....not the packaging, boxes or flight case. And you can get 23kgs in a small ally case

Regards
