I sent a revolver to Ruger one time for a fix and they sent me a new pistol. Asked to send ffl info and I called my favorite gun shop; Thunderstik Trading co in Tucson AZ. Told them the story and they said I didn’t need an ffl as it was already my pistol, a replacement for a pistol I already owned didn’t need a transfer. I told them Ruger insisted and they argued but finally said they would do it for me as a favor but insisted they wouldn’t charge me a dime for the transfer and that Ruger was being unreasonable. Great folks. I miss that store.
