Russ 11 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I have a Winchester SX3 with Dura Touch finish. There is a class action law suit on issues with the Dura Touch finish . I filled out online form to have the finish fixed . It had me print out a prepaid UPS label to return the whole gun . My question is am I legally allowed to ship this myself or do I have to go thru an FFL to ship ? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a cheap gun case on Amazon and it comes in a cardboard box so that’s all you need. UPS stores won’t ship guns but the local UPS distribution centers do.

Guy behind the counter was a gun guy and very helpful too, but that was last year. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used USPS once and they were a nightmare but that’s another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako76 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It is legal for you to ship the gun to the manufacturer for repair and they to return to it you. You should ask Browning to send you a shipping box, that's so what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy in maine shipped me an air rifle via USPS, 2 days before Ida, tracked it was in Kearny, they had a major roof collapse, I made numerous phone calls to different departments no problem sir it'll be late but it will arrive.

barrike Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I had a rifle that I needed to send back to Browning last year. I went to my local UPS and Fedex stores to find out the regulations. BOTH of them told me they couldn't ship firearms. I ended up going to my FFL and had him ship it. NJ sucks. thefirstndsecond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmac Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I sent rifle back to Browning last year for Dura Touch finish problems. I sent back in original box through UPS they put sticker on it that said Firearm in orange lettering must be signed for. Browning sent me email every step of the process and gun was returned in 6 weeks like brand new, was shipped back UPS with signature required thefirstndsecond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
