Inc., Product Service Department, 411 Sunapee Street, Newport, New Hampshire
03773. Telephone [phone]. Guns should be sent prepaid. We will not
accept collect shipments.
The Federal Gun Control Act, as well as the laws of most States and localities, do
not prohibit an individual (who is not otherwise barred from purchasing or pos-
sessing a firearm) from shipping a firearm directly to the manufacturer for
repair. However, before you ship your rifle to us, be certain that your State or
locality does not have a law or regulation which will prohibit you from receiving
the rifle from us after it has been repaired. If such receiving is prohibited, then
please have a Federally Licensed firearms dealer ship the gun to us. If your rifle
is sent to us by a dealer, it will be returned to him after being repaired. If a hand-
gun (pistol or revolver) is shipped by an individual who does not hold a Federal
Firearms License, it must be shipped via U.P.S. (Next Day Air) Persons who do
not hold a Federal Firearms License are prohibited by Federal law from shipping
a handgun by Mail. Handguns mailed in violation of the law are impounded by
the Post Office.
Please do not include rifle case, sling, telescopic sights or custom accessories
with a firearm being shipped to the factory for service. DO NOT SEND GUN
BOXES OR LITERATURE THAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE COLLECTOR’S
ITEMS – THESE ARE INVARIABLY DAMAGED OR DESTROYED IN
SHIPMENT. Rifles and shotguns may be shipped via Parcel Post. Always insure
your shipment.
Enclose a letter which includes your name, address, telephone number, serial
number and model of the firearm. Describe in detail the trouble you have experi-
enced with your firearm, or the work you wish to have done. Merely stating that
the firearm “needs repair” is inadequate information.
Work performed will bear a net minimum labor charge of $20.00 plus a $12.00
shipping and handling charge. The charge for rebluing the MODEL 77/22
