I'll be in Atlanta next week for the day for a meeting.
Can I just swing by glock and pay for a frame replacement while I wait? Are there certain hours if so? |

Quoted:
As a resident of a different state they can't directly sell you one. replacing one you currently own...? They sent me a replacement Glock before A gun repaired by the manufacturer should be shipable straight to the gun's owner, so I think it should work. Caveat: call 'em and ask. |

That is incorrect. Quoted:
Quoted:
Wouldn't th serial number have to be the same? If not, I'd imagine it would have to go to an FFL. That is incorrect. Could you please post the link to the ATF rule that says you don't need a background check for a newly manufactored SN? |

A Friend just sent in a Glock 36 with a damaged frame. He was shooting old brass cases which had been loaded way to many time. The case head ruptured and damaged the frame. He sent his G-36 to Glock via UPS next day. They replaced the frame and all the parts in the slide except the barrel and slide. They charged him $100 and covered the return shipping. Took a little over a week.
Glock shipped his 36 back to his house via Fedex signature required. |

Unless you are FFL holder or LE Agency you can not send handguns via USPS Quoted:
I know they can send you a new frame directly when you send them one through the mail but not 100% sure about that. I would contact them first. May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service? A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. [18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A); 27 CFR 478.31] |

[18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A); 27 CFR 478.31] The impression most people have is that, as long as the "transfer" doesn't have to go through a local FFL, then "mailing" the firearm is fine. Even FFLs have hoops to go through to actually use the Postal Service to transfer firearms, especially handguns. It's much simpler to use UPS (an actual UPS facility, not a "UPS Store") or FedEx, because UPS and FedEx are "common carriers" and are set up for this sort of thing. My CMP Garand was delivered by FedEx, and I shipped my SBR AR lower to and from US Anodizing by UPS. The key is to properly package and declare the firearm (according to the shipper's rules). Here are UPS's rules for shipping firearms, and this is what FedEx has to say about it. Note that UPS requires the use of an expedited service - which has a whole lot of waypoint surveillance - and while they don't spell it out as a requirement in the FedEx rules, it's a good idea to use their expedited service (CMP used the FedEx "Courier" service for my Garand) for the same reason. So... Having a pistol returned to the owner after a manufacturer repair does NOT require that it go through an FFL, but it can't go through the USPS and instead must go through a common carrier. I'm not a fan of DHL, but there are plenty of other choices... |

Actually if the frame is the serialized part, yes it is the gun. It's just like an AR lower that is the gun, the rest is just parts. Either way it can be mailed just depends on whom you want to mail it through. I prefer going through a FFL that way if something happens either they or the manufacturer will have to take responsibility on getting it resolved but to each their own. |

I assume you provided Glock the complete pistol for them to check form, fit and function. |

I didn't say it wasn't a firearm under the Gun Control Act, but it's not a handgun, unless it is assembled with the parts for it to actually be a handgun. |
