extra cylinder

Anvil · May-25-22 19:05

I was thinking of getting an unfluted cylinder for my Pug as an extra but I see you need to contact the factory. Has any of you gone through this process?
Do I have to send in my gun to have it fitted or do they just need basic information on the receiver itself?

I believe the gun needs to be sent in for fitting the cylinder, but you should ask Jessica @ NAA (and here)

Yeah, that's what worries me. 15 years ago I sent in a S&W revolver to the factory and in returning it was held up by ATF for 6 months.

IDK why you had ATF involved, since Federal Law specifies that a firearm may be shipped directly to an FFL ( NAA has a manufacturing FFL), for repair or customization, and directly receive the same firearm after the repair w/o having to go through an FFL.

The exception would be if the firearm owner resides in a state that does not allow such transfer.

I recently had to have a warranty cylinder replacement. NAA asked for gun/defective cylinder, and extra cylinder to be sent to factory using NAA-supplied shipping label via FedEx. Said they needed the whole gun to time both the new and extra cylinder correctly. Process very smooth, went without a hitch. Gun was returned within ten days of shipment to NAA.

Done on every one of our Minis, except the SW & the R2, and one Guardian. All came back in about 2 weeks right to my Office front desk without problems.

Rogue said he did it to his, but I can't find it on the website. .

Dang, how do you guys get such preferential treatment? I had to return a brand-new Earl for a broken hand, and was told it would take 4-6 weeks.

Their time estimate is worst case scenario. It usually ends up being a lot less.

Long story Pietro but it somehow by someone was unboxed it along the way and it was eventually returned to me via the serial number.

WOW !

There sure is a risk, when shipping a firearm - at least, I'm glad you finally got it back.

I?ve heard the nightmare stories, but I?ve been lucky. Still, prefer to get the guns with the extra cylinder at the time of purchase. Cheaper in the long run.

Oops. Was not too clear there ................. but we have had every NAA except the SW, the R2 and the Guardian shipped to the factory for a .22 LR cylinder.
