Have a question for those out there who have been through this. Getting ready to send back a rifle to Century and if it needs to be replaced will I have to get a new background check on it and pay the fees?  Would they send it to my residence or to my LGS? I have never been in this situation and I'am a bit apprehensive about shipping a rifle I just bought last week. It's an issue with an underfolder stock.

If they have to replace the entire rifle then you will need to have it transferred to you again since it will have a different serial number. If they don't replace the whole rifle and simply fix it, then it'll be shipped to your home.

I brought a VZ2008 from AIM last year.  It was a lemon.  Sent it back to Century to fix.  It came back and was still having the same problem.  Call them and sent the rifle back again.  Century shipped me a brand new VZ2008 straight to my house a few weeks later.

Not sure about your local gun law, but more than likely you will NOT need another background check.  The replacement rifle will probably shipped to yours house.

This seems to be Century's policy. A few years ago when Century did a recall on the Golani, everyone who sent the rifles in got different ones back sent directly to them. Century recorded the serial number exchange, & apparently it's legal. While I still scratch my head on that one, I'm sure Century has a large legal team who said it was OK.  GARY

Similar to sending a Glock with a worn/malfunctioning frame in for work. If Glock elects to replace the frame (the "firearm"), they still return it to your front door.

They didn't need a large legal team for that one. All that was needed was one lawyer who had read the statute.
18 United States Code 922 (a) (2)(A) specifically permits licensees to ship a firearm which has been repaired or a replacement firearm of the same type directly to a non-licensee.
That provision has been in the law since 1968.
