warranty registration with mfg. necessary?

Neutron · Sep 4, 2015

I was wondering if it's a good idea to fill out the warranty info after purchasing a new hand gun. Does the mfg. really need this info to cover warranty repairs? It seems to me it is just another place the government can look to see who owns firearms if/when the day ever comes that they decide we shouldn't own them or they want to impose some onerous tax on handguns. Thoughts?

If you ever think you'll need to use the warranty, fill out the card.

If the day ever comes that the feds go rounding up guns, they won't need warranty registrations to help track them down.

But the manufacturer will need that info to ensure you bought it new, and so you don't get stuck paying the cost of said repairs.

Warranty registration cards do not need to be filled out to obtain warranty services.

It's a good idea to fill it out if you want to be informed of any product recalls or upgrades/enhancements, but it is not necessary to do so.

In many cases, it's just another way to get more junk mail. I keep the receipt from purchases. That's my proof of purchase. That's my system anyway.

Ditto, Ruger just needed the SN from my 10/22 to issue a RO# and mailing label when it wouldn't shoot straight.
