Is there any govt paperwork involve when you drop off a pistol for gunsmithing?

Featured Replies

Jusr curious if there's anything to fill out. I guess I'll have to get a receipt also for dropping off a pistol at a gunsmith? I'm sorry. I never had work done before.

might depend on the gunsmith.

 

one place that did mostly rifles and shotguns asked to see proof of ownership for my revolver when i was to come back to pick it up.

I do not believe you have to fill out anything. You should get a receipt with your guns serial # on it. I'm not sure, but I believe the gunsmith has a "bound book" for repairs that can be audited by the SP and/or BATFE. Paul could better answewr that - but nothing "official" for you.

 

Adios,

Question.

 

Say you send your HANDGUN out of state for work, through and FFL, Do you need to burn another pistol permit when the gunsmith sends it back to pick up your own gun again,again?

If the frame wasn't changes no P2P would be needed.

No. The only time you would need to burn another permit is if they had to replace the parts containing the serial number. If the serial number changes it is considered a different handgun and would require a P2P to pick it up from your FFL.

http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/brady-law.html#repair-transfer

 

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.

 

 

 

(HOWEVER: In case one is wondering for consignments)

 

 

What about consignments?

 

 

Q: Is the redemption of a pawned firearm subject to the Brady law?

 

Yes. Unlike the interim Brady law, the permanent Brady law that went into effect on November 30, 1998, does not contain an exemption for the return of a firearm to the individual from whom it was received. Accordingly, the redemption of a pawned firearm is considered a transfer subject to the permanent Brady law.

 

 

 

 

Q: If an individual repeatedly pawns the same firearm, is the FFL required to do a NICS check each time the firearm is redeemed?

 

Yes. The fact that the transferee has redeemed the firearm before does not excuse the pawnbroker from complying with the Brady law.

Q: Can licensed pawnbrokers conduct NICS checks prior to accepting a firearm in pawn?

 

Yes. The law provides that a NICS check may be done, on an optional basis, prior to accepting a firearm in pawn. If the check results in a “denied” response, the licensee is required to notify local law enforcement officials within 48 hours after receipt of the “denied” response.

Q: If a pawnbroker conducts an optional NICS check prior to receiving a firearm in pawn, should the owner of the firearm complete a Form 4473 before the pawnbroker contacts NICS?

 

ATF suggests that licensees have the owner complete Section A of the Form 4473, record the results of the NICS check on the form, and retain the form in their records for at least 5 years.

Q: What should a licensed pawnbroker do when he or she gets a “denied” response from an optional NICS check conducted prior to the receipt of a firearm in pawn?

 

The licensee is required to notify local law enforcement officials within 48 hours after receipt of the “denied” response. If the licensee has taken possession of the firearm, he or she may not return it to the individual who offered it for pawn.

Q: If a licensed pawnbroker conducts a NICS check prior to accepting a firearm in pawn, and gets an “approved” response from NICS, must the pawnbroker conduct another NICS check if the firearm is redeemed from pawn? What if it is redeemed from pawn the same day?

 

The law provides that another NICS check must be done at the time of redemption, regardless of how recently the pre-pawn NICS check was conducted. Even if the firearm is redeemed the same day, a separate NICS check must be conducted at the time of redemption.

Roger, But you would have to pay again for FFL fees and NICS tho correct?

Shouldn't have to, no NICS would be needed, now not sure about charges outside of shipping, but maybe, someone who has done it or one of our FFL's should be able to answer that..

When I had my handgun repaired in PA , they mailed it back to my FFL ( True Value Hardware in Lincoln Park) . I paid shipping to the PA gunsmith of course ..but did not have to pay anything at the FFL.

I was told by Springfield Armory that I can send my 1911 back to them to get it fixed and then they would return it to me, no FFL needed. I didn't tell them I line in NJ and they didn't ask. Is this still correct?

Far as I know, you can ship it to them via FedEx or UPS. Only an FFL is allowed to ship firearms via the USPS.

I sent my pistol back to Kahr via Fedex and it was mailed back to my house.

They are allowed to ship it back to you Fed Ex , but the gunsmith in PA was reluctant to ship it back to my house.

 

Even in my limited experience , I find stores in free states afraid of NJ. They did not even want to send me a pump shotgun with an adjustable stock and pistol grip. Told them it was fine since it was not a semi auto...but they were again pretty reluctant.

Yes. New serial number means it's a new gun to you. Doesn't matter if it's a replacement gun. It's up to the FFL what they charge you for the transfer. If I bought a gun from my local FFL and it broke a month later, had him ship it back under warranty and got it replaced under warranty. I'd have to pay NICS and burn a P2P if it was a handgun but I'd expect a free FFL transfer.

Im talking about same serial #.

 

For example, I send a gun I've owned for a while out for a action job at Joe Shmoe Gusmith and South Carolina or something.

 

Thanks everybody

You will have to get a new permit if it is a new serial number.
