The Federal Gun Control Act, as well as the laws of most States and localities, do
not prohibit an individual (who is not otherwise barred from purchasing or pos-
sessing a firearm) from shipping a firearm directly to the manufacturer for
repair. However, before you ship your rifle to us, be certain that your State or
locality does not have a law or regulation which will prohibit you from receiving
the rifle from us after it has been repaired. If such receiving is prohibited, then
please have a Federally Licensed firearms dealer ship the gun to us. If your rifle
is sent to us by a dealer, it will be returned to him after being repaired. If a hand-
gun (pistol or revolver) is shipped by an individual who does not hold a Federal
Firearms License, it must be shipped via U.P.S. (Next Day Air) Persons who do
not hold a Federal Firearms License are prohibited by Federal law from shipping
a handgun by Mail. Handguns mailed in violation of the law are impounded by
the Post Office.
DO NOT SEND GUN BOXES OR LITERATURE THAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE
COLLECTOR’S ITEMS – THESE ARE INVARIABLY DAMAGED OR
DESTROYED IN SHIPMENT. Please do not include rifle case, sling, telescopic
sights or custom accessories with a firearm being shipped to the factory for serv-
ice. Rifles and shotguns may be shipped via Parcel Post. Always insure your ship-
ment.
Enclose a letter which includes your name, address, telephone number, serial
number and model of the firearm. Describe in detail the trouble you have experi-
enced with your firearm, or the work you wish to have done. Merely stating that
the firearm “needs repair” is inadequate information.
