Waiting for the shipment from S&W is a bit like it being Christmas Eve and waiting for Santa.
When I first talked about this on a forum there was a lot of hopeful speculation that I'd be getting a brand new gun because the Sigma is abandonware at S&W and that there weren't parts available to fix the problem mine had.
I'd assumed since they just gave me a tracking number that I was getting my original Sigma back.
A different gun would require shipping to an FFL because The Law, right?
A couple of responses in that thread have mentioned brand new guns being sent directly to the customer in lieu of the busted original.
I really did think that was illegal. Anyone know for sure? A reply on a gun forum is worth what you pay for it, so they could simply be wrong.
It is legal as long as it is a direct replacement from the manufacturer for a firearm that cannot be repaired.
ReplyDeleteI am not a legal expert but that is the way it used to be. I had a new shotgun returned to me when the damaged one was beyond repair.
Hope this helps.
