You're a gunshop though, you're "qualified" to replace a part. Being a lowly peon, I'm not qualified according to them. I've called for replacement parts multiple times and every single time I was told, "that needs to be replaced by a qualified gunsmith, we can't send it to you". Believe it or not, 1 part was a cracked grip panel, and the other was a pistol grip on a Sig rifle. Both times I was told that those items must be replaced by a qualified gunsmith and they can't send them to me for replacement, I would need to send the gun to them.
The only time I've gotten them to send me parts was replacement magazine base-plates that I bought from them.
BTW, special note here, some of you may recall my review on the Sig 516 that we used in a 3-day firearms training course last summer. The guys doing that training have since gotten rid of ALL Sig rifles due to the issues they had with them. Speaks a lot about quality when somebody invests $30k into a bunch of rifles and sells them all less than a year later because of reliability & customer service issues.
Just curious here, but if I say wanted to keep a few spare parts for my Sig 556 rifle on the shelf, do you think Sig would sell them to me? Last I heard they weren't selling any spare parts critical to the operation. They made you send in the defective part to prove it was a replacement part. That may have changed, but it's still the fact that they even had a policy like that.
