That is exactly what I did when I sent mine back to Kel-Tec for repair.hma153 said:IIRC: Take to hub; declair it's a firearm and insure; no markings on box indicating contents; overnight delivery.
That seems strange that they made you fill out another 4473. My S&W MP15-22 had extraction issues when I first bought it and I took it back to Academy Sports to let them handle the shipping since I had purchased it there. They called me when it came in and just walked me to the front door with it when I picked it up.gunsmoker said:I chose to let my local FFL dealer ship my handgun back to the factory for me, since FFL dealers can ship handguns through the U.S. Mail (really cheap) and private individuals like me would have to use a private shipping company like UPS, and they insist that handguns go "next day air" (expensive!) for security reasons.
But today when I went to pick up my now-repaired handgun from my dealer, they made me fill out a form 4473 and I had to either show my GFL or go through the instant background check! For my own gun that I brought to them a few weeks ago.
(I know pawn shops have to run a background check before returning a gun to a customer, but I didn't pawn the pistol. I let them ship it to the factory for repairs for me.)
I wasn't expecting that.
So, is this a newer dealer, or someone well established? Usual guy or new employee?gunsmoker said:I chose to let my local FFL dealer ship my handgun back to the factory for me, since FFL dealers can ship handguns through the U.S. Mail (really cheap) and private individuals like me would have to use a private shipping company like UPS, and they insist that handguns go "next day air" (expensive!) for security reasons.

I've flown with my weapon plenty of times, and is not biggy but still makes me nervous about them losing it/stealing whatever.quote]
