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.

I missed a flight once because I had a bolt carrier group in my carry on bag, which apparently warranted a discussion with Peel Regional Police. Air Canada insisted I check my bag as if it contained a firearm, everyone involved was a total dickhead, and it was a significant pain in the ass.

I should have just said it was an engine part, but barring that, plan air travel with any firearm parts as if you are travelling with an actual firearm to avoid such unpleasantness.
