All the firearm laws are allowing both the gun manufactures, distributors and local retailers to rape gun owners. In any other industry for any other product, you can get competitive warranty and return unsatisified merchandize. But you cannot do that with a poorly manufactured gun, they not only make you wait, you cannot change your mind after you buy it. We are just getting all the sausages as gun owners. :
 
If a new gun does not have a warranty, don't buy it. Your choice, dealer is not putting a gun to your hear and forcing you. As for returning a gun, I would like to see the day when you can buy a car, drive it for a week, return it and get a full refund. Go to the store, buy a big screen tv during the Super Bowl week and try to return it the following week.

Gun business is a tough one, margin are very small and the cost are going up. Any more pressure and there are not going to be any guns to buy, because they will all be gone. Out of business.

Suggestion, friends don't lets friends buy junk. Lots of junk guns out in the market, don't buy them.

The subject of warranty should be considered in light of the state in which you purchased the firearm. Certain states afford certain rights to the consumer. For instance, the Warranty of merchantability and fitness for purpose comes to mind. Each state varies and you should check with your local consumer affairs bureau.

The manufacturers also extend their own warranties which may go over any right covered by the state. S&W and Taurus both offer life time warranties. Ruger doesn't but as a practice, Bill Ruger wants his customers taken care of. It varies among manufacturers and as the consumer, you should ask around. That's the great thing about TFL. There is a lot of experience for all of us to draw from.

Where you have to be careful is in purchasing a used firearm. Since you're the non-original purchaser, you may not be covered by the factory warranty. This doesn't preclude the factory from helping you and you may have to pay for it. With a used gun, your right for servicing may rest with the dealer who warranted it. So, what you're saving by buying used you may be losing in terms of servicing and repairs. (Heck, learn to work on it yourself. I do and it's more fun that way!)

In closing, I can't agree that gunowners are getting the sausage and when it comes to service, it's better now than it's ever been.
