Poll: Turn-Around Time From Steyr Arms, Inc.

1 week door to door. FTEs, they replaced the extractor, spring, and plug.

 

Talked with Jeff at SAI about M40 ser# 001XXX he said to send it in and they would go through it. Shipped UPS on 13 Feb and received it back (UPS) on 19 Feb. They replaced the extractor and lightened the trigger ... shoots like a new gun. Excellent service and attitude. I only live approximately 4 hours from SAI so shipping was fast.Looks like I'm gonna have to have an S model now :lol:

 

It took them a little over two weeks for repairs to my M40 - but some of that was UPS time in transit.

While I'm still a little frustrated about how clueless Steyr-Mannlicher in Austria seems to be when it comes to the American consumer, SAI gets Five Stars for their customer service.

Bravo to Jack, and the whole gang there.

 

I am about to send mine out for trigger lightening, but both fedex and UPS want to rape me for 50$ on next day air. Is their (UPS/fedex) "requirement" that pistols be sent next day air a law, or just them being jerks? I see that others here used ground...

 

That's what my reading of the laws on AFT.gov seem to say also, I just wanted to see if anyone else interpreted them that way.

My FFL guy said he can ship USPS for less but that they do not like it.. Maybe you can find a FFL to ship it for you??

 

Alright so I freakin retarded...so shoot me....

I am curious what guns are going back...can someone do a poll to check...are people sending original M's, orginal S's (is there an original S series?), A1 M's or A1 S's?

Thanks

While I've never had to get service, I'd imagine I could probably get same day as I could walk there from here.

Sorry I am trying to follow this thread but if I get it correct; if I have to send the entire firearm, not jusrt parts, it goning to cost a bunch. I have a friendly LEO, if I understand corectly he can ship much less expensively? Do I have this correct?
