Customer satisfaction program

[scottbadger]

I had an idea. What if a firearms company, Glock or similar, started a new customer satisfaction program.

The program could be something along the lines of send in your handgun for a complete renovation. If the firearm couldn't be renovated to new condition the owner could pay an additional fee for the company to destroy the handgun and etch the serial number onto another handgun in completely renovated condition. The fee could coincidentally be the same price as a new gun. Send in a Gen 2 and end up with a Gen 4.

Wishful thinking I suppose but it is fun to think about.

It would have to be send in a gen 2 get a gen 2

Also most people.dont shoot enough to wear out guns. I would be surprised if the average gun received more than 100 rounds a year

[tradecraft]

Uh Glock already offers factory refurbishing.

I am not a part of most then. But I also haven't worn any of mine out.

I was actually concentrating on the replacement with the same serial number aspect. If a company decided to replace a product with another that had the same serial number to the original owner I'm not sure if that would trigger a new DROS.

Wouldn't that be like taking your F150 back to Ford for refurbishment and if the couldn't do it give you a new one with the old VIN#?

[scottbadger]

Yes. A new F150 replacement for the same cost as a new F150 that is not sold in CA under normal rules.

Yah people I know that average 7 to 15k rounds a year don't wear out guns. Does an occasional part break? Sure. Just like a car needs new tires

Being subtle on the calguns forum is like being subtle at a bordello.

I understand that it is difficult to wear out a firearm.

SSE is gone (except for some possibilities on certain platforms) so I was exploring the idea of Gen 4 Glocks being available to CA residents that wanted to trade in a used gun and pay full price for a newer model. Probably not feasible but I thought I'd throw the idea out to the esteemed members of this forum.

Your attempt at being subtle was understood. However pointless discussion as.I believe you need to replace the frame with the same type

[tophatjones]

Gun manufacturers seem to hate replacing frames with the same serial number, maybe the ATF gives them crap about it. Keep up the brainstorming though, lots of new ideas and innovations will help our cause.
