Handgun replacement by Manufacturer

[njviper91 25]

I recently sent in a .22 Pistol to ruger to be repaired.  They replied to me that they could not repair it and would be sending me a current production model and that it would have to go to my local FFL because it will have a new serial number.

Im 99% sure I have to apply for a new permit for this now (unless someone knows a loophole), I started that process and was told by my local police that they are 8 weeks out :/

My main question is, what happens to my current permit with the gun ruger is keeping?  Do I have to do anything with that to show it is no longer in my possession and I no longer own it?

Permit to purchase.....  not permit to keep.

Ruger will destroy the original gun and report it to ATF.  Print out and keep a hard copy record of your correspondence with Ruger indicating the gun was destroyed and replaced.

Ok, that makes sense, i was confused by the fact that there was no "transfer" paperwork per say of the damaged gun other than me sending it to them.  I was looking for some type of "reporting" so that makes sense.
