Bringing an Air Rifle ".177" into Thailand

[BakHamLe]

Hi I would like to bring a Crossman Phantom Air rifle into Thailand but I am not sure of the laws allowing this type of weapon in the country. I plan on bringing it in my checked baggage possibly disassembled to make it look less like a real firearm.

Does anyone know if I will have trouble at the customs area if I attempt to bring this into Thailand? I don't want to be arrested at the airport before I even start my vacation.

Also are there any stores that would sell this or something very similar ".177 or .22 pellet rifle" in Thailand?

Here is the link of the air rifle on amazon.

Thanks
