SHIPPING FIREARMS FOR REPAIR
RUGER ® MODEL 77/50 rifles returned to the factory for repair should be
sent to: Sturm Ruger & Company, Inc., Product Service Department, 411
Sunapee Street, Newport, New Hampshire 03773. Telephone (603) 863-3300.
Guns should be sent prepaid. We will not accept collect shipments.
The Federal Gun Control Act, as well as the laws of most States and localities, do
not prohibit an individual (who is not otherwise barred from purchasing or
possessing a firearm) from shipping a firearm directly to the manufacturer for
repair. However, before you ship your rifle to us, be certain that your State or
locality does not have a law or regulation which will prohibit you from receiving
the rifle from us after it has been repaired. If such receiving is prohibited, then
please have a Federally Licensed firearms dealer ship the gun to us. If your rifle
is sent to us by a dealer, it will be returned to him after being repaired. If a
handgun (pistol or revolver) is shipped by an individual who does not hold a
Federal Firearms License, it must be shipped via U.P.S. Persons who do not hold
a Federal Firearms License are prohibited by Federal law from shipping a
handgun by Mail. Handguns mailed in violation of the law are impounded by the
Post Office.
Please do not include rifle case, sling, telescopic sights or custom accessories
with a firearm being shipped to the factory for service.
DO NOT SEND GUN
BOXES OR LITERATURE THAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE COLLECTOR’S ITEMS
– THESE ARE INVARIABLY DAMAGED OR DESTROYED IN SHIPMENT. Rifles
and shotguns may be shipped via Parcel Post. Always insure your shipment.
Enclose a letter which includes your name, address, telephone number, serial
number and model of the firearm. Describe in detail the trouble you have
experienced with your firearm, or the work you wish to have done. Merely stating
that the firearm “needs repair” is inadequate information.
Work performed will bear a net minimum labor charge of $15.00 plus a $5.00
shipping and handling charge. The charge for rebluing the Model 77/50 rifle is
$35.00 plus a $5.00 shipping and handling charge. Custom gunsmithing service
or non-standard alterations are NOT AVAILABLE from Ruger Product Service
Departments.
