How do you ship back to gun maker

[Panzercat]

If that was a handgun, HiPoint just had you comit a felony.

Actually just looked at the USPS regs. Looks like I'm good. Thanks for the concern tho and I might drop a letter to hipoint tho because they couldn't have known my circumstances.

if you ship it via your local FFL, it will be returned to your local FFL. You will end up paying him twice.

I had my FFL ship a handgun for repair for me and all I had to pay was the shipping charge. When he got it back he called me and I went down and he handed me the package and that was it. No additional paperwork or money was involved.

Okay, your opinion and what you done doesn't count. This is copied from the atf website and they determine what is right and wrong.

Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier?

A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm.

Q: May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity?

Yes. A person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner. Persons other than the owner should not open the package and take possession of the firearm.

When I had some revolver problems, I took it back to the shop I bought it from and they sent it in, 2 times, no charge at all to me.

A manufacturer can even ship a replacement firearm directly to the person if they can't repair the gun sent to them.

Wouldn’t a replacement firearm, with a new S/N, necessitate another background check through an FFL dealer?

No.
