It may depend on the airline. I flew on Delta several years ago with a checked firearm and that is what they did. The physically opened the case and verified that it was unloaded and then put a big red tag on it that said FIREARM and put it on the conveyer belt. I thought sure someone would steal it but it came through no worse for the wear. I was also worried it would get damaged as I have seen handlers be really rough on luggage but it was fine.Kind what I was wondering. I check rifles on flights multiple times each year and don’t ever recall a sticker being placed on the outside. And I don’t worry about theft on domestic flights - I do worry about stolen rifles on international flights!
