What I'm wondering though, is when the guidance says that firearm parts "may be transported in checked baggage", can those parts be mixed in with clothing and NOT in a locked case - I understand that firearms have to be in a locked case - in my situation, the receiver (the serialized part) will be in a locked case. Is there any requirement for the PARTS to also be in a locked case?

Southwest and TSA policy seems pretty clear on firearm parts - "Firearm parts, including magazines, clips, bolts and firing pins, are prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage." - I'll be taking a DIS-ASSEMBLED shotgun with me on a future flight - since the serialized part, the receiver, is the firearm, it has to be in a locked case, per regulations - what about the barrel, the wood stock, the magazine tube, etc. - all firearm PARTS - can those parts be in checked baggage without being in a locked case?
