| OK, I know that it's OK for an individual to ship a firearm back to a manufacturer for repair work, and the manufacturer to then return ship the repaired firearm directly back to the owner. However.... let's say that the gun is determined to be such a hopeless POS that they decide to just replace it. Can the replacement, with it's different serial number, still be shipped directly to the end user, or will it have to get transferred via an FFL dealer as if it were an original purchase? |

Q: A firearm is delivered to a licensee by an unlicensed individual for the purpose of repair. Is the return of the repaired firearm subject to the requirements of the Brady law? Would the transfer of a replacement firearm from the licensee to the owner of the damaged firearm be subject to the requirements of the Brady law? Neither the transfer of a repaired firearm nor the transfer of a replacement firearm would be subject to the requirements of the Brady law. Furthermore, the regulations provide that a Form 4473 is not required to cover these transactions. However, the licensee’s permanent acquisition and disposition records should reflect the return of the firearm or the transfer of a replacement firearm. [27 CFR 478.124-25] |
