Any special precautions that will have to be followed

New frame=new serial number=new pistol permit, to take possession.

 

Perhaps if you spoke to Kimber and explained your situation, they could swap out serial numbers some how? Assuming they are going to junk your old one.

I believe I read somewhere that that's against the law but they'll still be shipping it to my house I think, isn't that legal possession

Found a similar thread with the answer, guess I'll have to use a permit if needed

Actually there is some Federal reg that states you can’t reuse a sn#. The reason I say this is because I just recently sent my SU16 in for repair and they replaced the barrel and Kel-Tec cited the law. They changed the sn# from Nxxxx to NxxxxA so basically they used the same sn# and added the A suffix. I would guess handguns are the same but I’m sure some FFL will chime in with more details
