Flying with firearms doesn’t have to be complicated—or risky. Rick Crawley of Achilles Heel Tactical has spent the last three years crisscrossing the country (and even going international) with a full training loadout packed into a single Pelican 1615 Air case.
In the following video, Rick walks through his entire travel setup, including:
How to legally fly with firearms, suppressors, and SBRs- Why he uses the Pelican 1615 Air Case (and how it’s held up through hellish airline abuse)
- The TSA rules to know—and how to handle pushback at the counter
- How he packs using OTTE Gear cubes and Magpul DAKA pouches
- The best way to conceal ammo weight and avoid TSA delays
From Apple AirTags to form 20s, Rick drops hard-earned insights for anyone planning to fly with their range kit. Whether you’re traveling for a training course or a hunting trip, this guide covers everything from gear protection to baggage claim recovery.
Pro Tip: TSA agents make mistakes. Keep a digital copy of the airlines firearm rules on your phone, and always double-check that your case is latched and locked before it rolls away.
Case, Locks, Ammo, Mags, Guns—all in one setup.
This isn’t just how Rick travels—it’s how he rolls up to the range fully mission-ready.
