I have an early GSG-5 (purchased 02/09/2009) without the riveted ejector that came later. I never got around to sending it back for the rivet mod, mostly because it was working, and if it works...you get it. I SBR'd it, and it's one of my favorite, go-to weapons for the range.
Lately it's been FTE'ing pretty frequently, so I decided it needed some TLC in the form of a riveted ejector. I called ATI, got an RMA, stuck it back into Title I status, and sent it in. The RMA note said "The typical turnaround time for servicing weapons is approximately
4-6 weeks from the date the firearm is received, barring any extenuating circumstances." Oh, well.
FedEx picked the rifle up 20 Jan, and ATI got it 23 Jan. Yesterday (5 Feb) FedEx delivered the rifle back. They shipped the rifle 3 Feb, so by my count they turned the rifle around in less than 12 days.
According to the repair slip: Replaced right and left carrier, breech bolt cover (due to being broken) and stop block. Ejector replaced and riveted. 30 rounds of CCI Min Mag ammo fired for safety and function with no failures.
Total cost: $0.00, and that includes shipping both ways.
This is awesome customer service, period. My 11-year-old gun was repaired and returned spotless (and trust me, it wasn't sent in that way) in less than two weeks. For free. It doesn't get any better than that.
ETA: And now that it's home, it's back in it's normal, SBR configuration.
