Kalifornia Confusion
I sent a rifle back to Remington for repair...now they want to send it back but only to an FFL. It was a 597 in 17 HMR and they changed the barrel to a 22 Magnum...it is the same receiver...I thought it could be sent directly back to me.

They can send to back directly to you...If they want to, but they don't have to. 0 -
Correct. Federal law says they can, but they MAY have a corporate policy requiring shipment to an FFL. Ask to speak to a supervisor and clarify the issue. You may be dealing with a less educated lower employee. 0 -
Why not suggest that they send it direct. 0 -
my friend sent in his 2 17's for the 22 redo and they sent them direct to him 0 -

They can send it back to you. I dealt with Thompson/Center on this, they cited a "CA law" that requires shipping of repaired guns back to a CA FFL only - I bugged them, there is no law and they shipped back to me direct. I've had more than a few other guns, including handguns, sent back to me directly after repair.
I checked the Calguns site - I'm sure the info is on there, can't find it just now though.
BTW - if it goes to your FFL will you be stuck with DROS and 10 day jail?0 -
This is off topic but why is everyone changing from 17 caliber to 22? 0 -

Remington has/had a recall on the 17hmr 597s. Offering a discount on some other remington product, or convert from 17 to 22mag0 -
Thanks, I had'nt heard about that 0
