Gunsmithing question
Hello All,
I have a customer who needs to send a firearm he purchased from me back to Springfield Armory for a warranty claim. Springfield Armory contacted me and advised that the customer cannot send the firearm in himself, so the warranty process will need to go through me. I will be shipping the firearm to Springfield Armory on the customer’s behalf and receiving it back once the warranty work is completed.
My understanding is that I would first acquire the firearm into my A&D book for gunsmithing/repair. When I ship it to Springfield Armory, I would disposition it to them. Once Springfield returns the firearm to me, I would acquire it back into my A&D book.
My question is regarding the final return to the customer. Since I am returning the repaired firearm to the same person from whom I originally received it, can I simply disposition it back to him in my A&D book, or would I need to complete another Form 4473 and background check?
