I may be going out on a limb here but I think I have it figured out.

I am planning to go to SA next year for a handgun hunt. I will have 2 contenders, one with a suppressor and my wife will have a revolver and a bolt action rifle. Because the handguns don't take up much space, I want to put all 4 firearms and suppressor in one case. Is that allowed if I have the 2 contenders on my 4457 and she has the bolt action & revolver on her 4457?
I know the US allows temporary export with up to 3 firearms and SA is only 2 (they don't consider the suppressor anything). The suppressor transport is a topic for later. I guess my main concern is, I believe sharing a case is ok but not sure about sharing when maxing out the allowable temporary exports.

The best thing that I can tell you is to contact Henry at Rifle Permits.com, he'll have all the answers for you.

For what you will pay him for the permitting process it is well worth it.

I may have to do that. If anything, peace of mind will be worth it and I've heard great things. I think my guide is aware of him too so thats a plus.

Riflepermits.com sounds like good advice
