Damn. I just got the TX22 last month and it's functioned pretty well for the most part. I find the mags need to be kept "relatively" clean/lubed in order for the rounds to slide and feed into the barrel.Yea, I figured I am screwed. I suggested the manufacturer just destroy my gun and put my serial number on the replacement - They WON'T was his answer. What's interesting to me is they sent my gun back to ME 3 times no problem but they refuse to send a replacement to me OR to my FFL even though I told them it is 100% legal. They don't give a crap.
Len-2A has a good solution but I doubt if the AG would actually do that (I could be wrong and I'll pursue that).
LuvDog, you are probably right but the purpose of my question here was hoping there was something in writing. I've wasted a few months dealing on this nonsense with idiots at the other end. 3 times they tried to fix the problem and they can't!
I asked the manufacturer if the warranty goes with the gun. So I could sell it (to a friend for a buck), have him get a replacement and sell it back to me (for a buck). The answer - NOPE, If I sell the gun no more warranty.
Now, the reason I haven't disclosed the gun and manufacturer was because I didn't want a bunch of comments going off topic about the company etc. I wanted to merely stay on track to see if I could get some solution for my issue. The thread went off topic anyway focusing on FFL issues etc.
I apologize for any negativity you derived from me. That was not my intention.
The company is Taurus. The absolute worst idiots I have ever dealt with. The gun is the Taurus TX22. It's a great gun and I have friends who have great shooters - ME, nope.
I'll keep watching the thread in case someone weighs in with a solution.
Happy New Year to you all, stay safe and thanks for all your input,

Yes, IIRC the gun owner filed a Ch. 93A complaint with the AG's office and the AG's office ORDERED the company to do the right thing. OP, try it, it might work."Consumer affairs".
Ouch. Back in 1998 I had a lengthy conversation with the VP of Taurus about selling in MA. Their attorneys met with the AG's attorneys and after that meeting they decided never to allow another of their guns to be sold in MA. You have a tough road to travel on this. Try my suggestion above and cross your fingers.The company is Taurus. The absolute worst idiots I have ever dealt with. The gun is the Taurus TX22. It's a great gun and I have friends who have great shooters - ME, nope.
Why aren't you telling your own community the make and model of the gun?I don't mean to be rude and I surely do appreciate all your guys input and I know you're trying to help and give me good sound advise.....BUT....why the heck are you telling me what the FFL will or will not do? Maybe the FFL is my wife/husband, my brother, my dad, me, even, sheesh.
I guess I won't get an answer to my very simple question!!
Thanks anyway all,
David
Really unfortunate you’re in this position and hope it works out as I freaking love my TX22 - accurate, great trigger, great ergos, and reliable for the most part.nstassel - I did in Post 27 (see below)

This.You don't need to send it to an FFL, they can send it to you directly and legally without a 4473 being done
That is what you need to convince them of, and I posted the appropriate IMHO laws/regulations in a previous post.
Cut out the middle man.
I'm out
You should be convincing the manufacturer to ship the gun direct to you. I've done this twice. Once with a repair.....once with a replacement. On the replacement.... Efa 10 and done.Appraiser, what the heck are you talking about? I’m not looking for an FFL to do any transfer. I already have one. I’m trying to figure out how to convince the manufacturer of my gun that it is perfectly legal for them to send a replacement gun to an FFL in MA regardless of any MA restrictions. That’s it. Nothing more and nothing less. For the purpose of this conversation, what the FFL does after the receipt of the gun is irrelevant.
I hope it’s clearer now what I’m looking for. Thanks a lot for understanding.

Your definitely between a rock and a hard place......especially considering its a Taurus. They are hard headed as hell I've heard.I tried that whacko- they will only ship my original gun back to me. As a matter of fact they've returned it to me 3 times. The replacement gun will have a different serial number so the answer is nope. I suggested they just put my serial number on the replacement gun and send it back to me. They're going to destroy my gun anyway so that makes perfect sense, right? They're answer - Nope. Taurus customer service are morons !!!

No, file a C. 93A complaint with the MA AG. Believe it or not, she'll force them to do it right.UPDATE - I found an FFL in NH (thanks to an NES member) willing to receive the gun from Taurus and transfer it to an FFL here in MA. One part of the problem solved, right.
OK, so I call Taurus - matter of fact I just got off the phone with Taurus now - ready for this - they'll only ship the gun to the state it came out of (MA) - and since it's not on the DOJ list they won't send it to me or to an FFL in MA. Guess it's about time I throw in the towel.
NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH TAURUS is the takeaway.

WOW! Well that really stinks. I sure hope I never need to send my TX22 to them for repairs etc.UPDATE - I found an FFL in NH (thanks to an NES member) willing to receive the gun from Taurus and transfer it to an FFL here in MA. One part of the problem solved, right.
