Can you leave your locked ammunition box in your checked baggage with South African Air?

On my trip down and back last year my ammo was in a checked bag from SLC to NY on Delta and then to Joberg on SAA. We picked up our luggage and rechecked it to fly to Port Elizabeth on SAA and didn't remove our ammo, it was in our checked bags.

On our way back from Port Elizabeth we had to remove our ammo box from our checked bags to fly on SAA to Joberg. I then picked up my bags and placed the ammo box back into my checked bag in Joberg for the flight to the US on SAA with no problems.

On the surplus ammo can, my hunting partner did that but it was a plastic ammo can with a way to place a lock on it. No problems.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
