I can't help but wonder what would happen if someone bought a neglected one second hand with a pitted barrel and wanted to replace it - would they REALLY have to send the whole gun in? What if a gunsmith called asking for a factory replacement barrel on a firearm they're working on? Would they get the same response as well? =/ |
Yup... You'd have to pay to send your entire gun. Then, according to s&w, "an estimate would be sent to you in the mail from the gunsmith and once the estimate is paid", they would simply lay a barrel in your gun and ship it back to you at your cost. Extra time, money, and steps wasted on both ends...
I'll prob. will buy a used 9mm shield from armslist, will mail it to s&w, and then will resale it.
