Misc Flying with magazine and some empty clips?

Has anyone had any issues flying w basic firearm parts in their checked bags? I'm mostly worried I'll end up spending half an hour filling out forms and paying more than the magazine is worth to get it on the plane.

Better get there extra early. From my experience the attendants and security are useless and won't understand.

I walked up and told them straight up that I had firearm magazines, no ammo, no firearms. Literally I think it would've been easier with an actual gun. They held me up for an hour trying to figure out if it was allowed, told me to fill out the firearm form which only related to ammo amounts and firearm serial numbers. After several phone calls and a manager coming out they finally scanned my bag at let me get in with my day.
