opinion on mfg shipping to persons home ?

[dmdracer]

Looking for an answer to the following.....

You send an 1911 45 back to manf. to get repaired. (was sent by a local gun shop as a favor to save me approx. $60.00 in shipping)

The manf. wishes to replace with a new 1911 and said they would send it directly to my home.

I question the legality of this ???

Is it because of the replacement that this is legal ?

I'm grateful for a new firearm but wonder if I'm breaking any law ?

thanks for your thoughts

I've had a handgun replaced by the manufacturer, but it had to go to a gunshop for the FFL transfer-no charge to me.

It doesn't sound right to me-a gun with a different serial number, shipped to you, without an FFL transfer.

It could be a new gun with the same serial number and the manufacturer will dispose / destroy old gun

Don't sweat it. I would assume/hope that any firearms manufacturer would be more familiar with firearms law than any of us would ever be.

The manufacturer probably knows the laws. If they dispose of the old one, and make a new one with the same SN, then they can send it straight back to you.

IIRC, if it's a new SN, it will have to go through an FFL, but I'm not positive on that.
