Personally, I would just mailorder that stuff. You might be able to legally bring it in, but keep in mind that you are doing that IN PERSON. If they want to, they can stop you / search you, question you, etc.. They will scan your luggage (after you have checked it in) and it's likely someone scanning the luggage will see some "suspicous" shapes in there and they will stop the plane on the runway if they have to.
The mechbox will set off metal detection for sure.
I was in California and bought a stock from the Evike retail store (very nice guys in person, despite their online persona) and made sure to get them to write on the receipt "paintball accessory" - just to make sure I didn't get hassled by customs.
Not worth the personal delay and embarrassment / potential of holding up a plane full of people IMO.
