Do you register your firearm?

Ruger's customer service was fantastic in the late 90's. Was missing a sideplate for a mini 14, they sent me one no charge. The rep I talked to was a real gun guy, new the products, spent over 15 minutes on the phone with him, most of it was talking about mini 14's and mini 30's. I have bought Rugers since then when they have offered a product I wanted. Did I fill out a warranty card after my last new purchase? Yes I did. It doesn't matter anymore. If nothing happens I want to be able to get a firearm repaired w/o hassle.

I think the only times I've sent in the warranty card was if they had a promotion running for free mags or such and required the card for the promotion

At first, I’d register my all my new guns. But now I don’t anymore. I’m kinda sketchy about having my gun shipped back to the manufacturer plus the turn around time for service or repairs. im more comfortable doing my own work on them and I honestly havent run into any issues that I couldn’t fix myself. If that were to happen, I’d probably just bite the bullet (no pun intended) and take it to a gunsmith.

I only registered mine with my wife at about 1/3 of the price I actually paid.

Just wondering how many people actually register their firearm with the manufacturer? Does it matter when it comes to warranty work?

What firearm?

Sending in the card serves for 1 major purpose; product RECALL. When a recall is issued, registered owners are contacted first.

I have sent in 1 card. I received a recall letter , along with a claim number, return authorization and estimated time for repair and return.

IF I were to buy a NEW firearm, I WOULD send the card in.

Bought a FN used and found out it had a recall on it. Called CS and they sent me the address label. Took it to fedex . FN fixed it and got it back . Very nice to deal with.

I’ve been told by more than one firearm and archery company that they just throw away the warranty cards they are sent. I don’t bother sending them in.
