No issue checking a gun. You can have a trigger lock but not required. You need a hard sided gun case which is lockable. You will show up to check in with gun UNLOADED. Present to airline agent, they will ask to see the gun and you will prove it's un loaded. Then you will place gun back in case sign a firearms decleration the ariline provides and lock the case in front of the agent. You are done.

You can also transport up to 11 lbs of ammo IN the same case as your fire arm.

Allow a little extra time but since you are staying in the US shouldn't be a big deal at all.

Ammo is an airline thing, not a TSA thing. Ammo transport rules vary widely between airlines.

Alaska Airlines lets me carry up to 40 lbs of ammo as regular checked luggage at no extra charge. I can carry more than that if I want to pay extra.
