Re: Pennsylvania gun law question
I sent a handgun to Kimber by UPS. It had to go by overnight. The supervisor at the local terminal never heard of Kimber, so I had to get a copy of their FFL, which was no problem at all. The UPS supervisor told me that if it were Colt, S&W or any other manufacturer whose name he recognized, no FFL copy was necessary.
Kimber sent the gun directly back to me via UPS Overnight with an adult signature required.Boy, I say boy, you're reaching the limits of my medication!

Re: Pennsylvania gun law question
Anybody can tell a shipper anything they want. A shipper can make any rules they want. A shipping manager or clerk who is not clear or confused can default to cover their ass. Shipping thru an FFL is a blanket protection for all involved. Given the legal mumbo-jumbo and lawyer-speak of these policies , I can't blame them.
But an FFL will have to log it into their A&D book, and upon return , will have the owner fill out a 4473 and do a background check prior to returning it to owner.
I was surprised when I had to do a 4473 and BG check when I took a rifle back from a dealer where I had it on consignment.Last edited by abner13; January 9th, 2018 at 08:52 PM.

Re: Pennsylvania gun law question
OP not enough info. Reason sending back? If serial number changed i.e. new frame, then ffl and background check.

Re: Pennsylvania gun law question
I shipped a pistol off to Apex Tactical for enhancements. They shipped it back to me. Went FedEx both ways, no problem, no FFL. Was fucking expensive though - because their POLICY is that it must go FedEx overnight - not even 2-day.

Re: Pennsylvania gun law question
Any manufacturer or company your sending your firearm for work to be done should be an FFL. The one thing I didnt understand was why if Im shipping to an FFL it had to be overnight and expensive charge but when shipped from the FFL it could be regular shipping and around $30.

I sent a Kahr Arms CW9 back to (Massachusetts) replace a trigger bar several years ago. I used UPS, had to go to an Air Hub, ship it directly & overnight (UPS rules). It was delivered back to my house, signature and ID required when the repair was done.
