Frequently Asked Questions
"Can I fly with my Americase?" Yes, these cases are designed with the airlines in mind. You should, however, expect minor scratches and dents. Also, any damaged hardware can be replaced.
"Is my Americase unbreakable?" No, occasionally shippers subject packages to unreasonable stresses (i.e. run over or through by a forklift, dropped from an unreasonable height, etc...).
"Is my Americase covered by warranty?" Yes, but do not confuse insurance claims with warranty claims. Also, while catastrophic damage by a shipper is rare, please understand that the age of the case or the number of trips that it has made is not a factor in the determination of a warranty claim versus an insurance claim. Please see Warranty for more information.
"Are the locks tamper proof?" Within reason, your case is equipped with the finest hardware available. Remember that if a thief wants what is in the case, they will simply take the entire case.
"Is an Americase waterproof?" They are not submergible, but extremely resistant to rain.
"Will the Interior of my case always remain dry?" Unfortunately steel guns tend to produce condensation when changing temperatures. However, normal care of your gun will prevent moisture buildup inside the case and will prevent any damage.
"If I have a special situation, can I get a custom case?" Americase specializes in quality and service for all of your case needs. Custom fabrication is available for practically any situation.
"How many guns can I fly with?" It varies per carrier. Contact your airline about any restrictions and other policies they may have regarding traveling with firearms.
