Hey, Can someone please explain the process to send  a pistol to Springfield for warranty work.  Do I need to take it to an FFL to send it in?  What is the average return time?       Thanks for any and all info.

You will need to call Springfield directly.  They might take upto a week to return your call, so be patient.  The rep will give you a return ref number.  You will need to ship it either UPS or FedEx overnight to them and (unless things have changed from last summer) expect about 2-4 months as a return time.  They do good work and it's free, just be ready to not have your weapon for a while.

You can ship the pistol directly to them from Fed EX or UPS without using a local FFL.

call sa they will give you a return athorisation number, you put that number on the outside of the box, and you ship it ups or fed x i went ups, try to keep the shipping cost inder $50 because that is all that sa will refund you up to $50 that is a mistake that i made. once they get it and if you get curious about what is up with it. you can call them and they will give you a status report, sometimes that takes a day, but they will definetly call you back when they find out as a matter of fact 2 different reps called me about the same pistol!

it normally takes 10 business days to complete the work i got mine back in a little less than 3 weeks but they squared me away.

you ship diorect there is no need for an ffl, just tell the people at ups that it is a firearm that is gong back to the maker and you will be good to go.

hope this helps let me know if you need futher guidence.

if you know someone with an FFL though that wont charge you a transfer, have them ship it.  they can send it standard postal service priority, and it will run you like $5 and then you dont have to hassle with getting a shipping refund.
