If you purchase a firearm, whether it be a pistol, rifle or shotgun and it malfunctions multiple times and/or is defective, can the dealer take it back in return and refund you? Does the 3 day return policy in Mass be valid on firearms?

That is a good question. And good responses to it too.If you purchase a firearm, whether it be a pistol, rifle or shotgun and it malfunctions multiple times and/or is defective, can the dealer take it back in return and refund you? Does the 3 day return policy in Mass be valid on firearms?
The dealer most certainly CAN. If the dealer says's "CAN'T" (s)he is mis-using the English language and should be using the term "WON'T".If you purchase a firearm, whether it be a pistol, rifle or shotgun and it malfunctions multiple times and/or is defective, can the dealer take it back in return and refund you?

I think he is referring to the recission period of 3 days for contracts made at a location other than the seller's regular place of business. This is designed as some protection from Empire Carpet; Window Companies; etc. that always tell you "Your lucky day... big sale... not available unless you sign the contract right now, you will never be permitted access to this price again... (that is until their closer calls you the next day to take another shot)..."But, non-firearm-wise, what is the 3 day return policy in Mass you refer to?
Right, but it fell short of the MA required offer of a choice of "repair, refund or replacement". My guess is that the later two options would have been unlawfully refused if you asked.I got a defective Remington 700 rifle from Collector's Gallery in Stoneham, keep in mind this was a long time ago. I went back and they were super cool. They packed it up and sent it back for warranty service. Remington returned it to them and they called me to come get it. This is what I consider good service and what makes me go back and spend more even if they don't have the lowest prices.

FIFYA dealer will neverlet you return a working orfollow the law regarding return of a repairable gun. Once you walk out of the store they are done with you.
Four Seasons took care of me 10+ years ago. First ever firearm, a brandy new 10/22. They tried to fix it in house a few times, then gave up and handed me a new one off the rack.
Absolutely true on all counts.There is no path for a dealer to get a refund on the gun. Some distributors will take back an unsold gun. Some will take back an unsold gun and handle dealing with the manufacturer. Most just say "deal with the manufacturer". If the dealer as to give a refund, then they flat out lose money. They now have a gun that is used (even if unfired) that they may get repaired, but now have to sell as used. Unless it is a high demand gun during COVID, they will lose. Its not like the dealer can check out the gun for functionality before selling it...
If the dealer ships it back for you, and receives it back from manufacturer, can he give it back to you without new paperwork?
That is a good question. And good responses to it too.

Thanks
Cite?Mass laws state a retailer has to refund the purchase price on any item that is returned within 3 days with receipt, no questions asked. It also applies to auto sales believe it or not.
I don't believe that is true.If I could spend the time to find it, I would. But I know for a fact you can return a vehicle within 3 days.
