Class 3 FFL needed for Sending the can to the manufacturer?
I haven't heard back from the manufacturer on this question. I am sending in my can for service to the manufacturer. Does anyone know if I need to have a class 3 FFL dealer to make this transfer? How about when they send it back to me?
You do not need an SOT to send your own suppressor to the mfg for repairs.
There's a specific ATF Form for this, but typically people just include a photocopy of their approved Form 4.

I do believe you need a FFL to receive it when it comes back, particularly if it's a handgun.juwan626 wrote:Forgot to ask this, but the silencer mfg is also asking that I send the host firearm that I have on it. I would think that if I didn't need a Class 3 to send the silencer then I probably won't need an FFL to send the firearm right?

You do not need a FFL to receive the firearm back for you. Since you already own the firearm and you are receiving the same firearm back you can mail it to the company and they can mail it straight back to you. I have sent firearms rifles, pistols and receiver back to manufactures and to gunsmiths and as long as it is the same serial number they send it straight back to me.
correct
Correct as far as federal laws go. State laws may be more restrictive.
Also, Federal law prohibits a person from using the USPS to ship handguns. Long Guns are OK to mail, but handguns must go via common carrier like FedEx. FedEx has their own policy that says that handguns must go overnight priority.

You can receive your OWN firearm without involving an FFL when it comes back from repair.
As CZ stated, you may not ship handguns using USPS. It has to go UPS or FedEx, and their policies (not law) states that they have to go Overnight.

Long guns can go USPS but it can be a hassle at some post offices. ATF used to require a tax exempt transfer to be approved to each way to send an NFA item for repair but no longer requires it. Just send it with a copy of the form and the dealer or manufacturer can send it back directly to your home. Since there is no change of ownership, there is no actual transfer and no paperwork required.
