mailing handguns to factory?

Tenhoff · May 6, 2016

From what I hear, if you have a gen 2 glock, you can send it into the factory to "upgrade" the frame to gen 3. My question is, would I need to have an HQL to do this? From what I understand, the frame is what's considered the gun, and it has to be mailed back to my local ffl, so when they transfer it back to me, is there any paper work I would need to do where they might ask me for an HQL? I bought this handgun before I moved to Maryland and haven't bought an HQL yet. any light would be appreciated.

Are they going to give you the same serial number in a new frame or do they modify the existing frame? If it's a different serial number then my guess would be yes but I'm not sure.

From what I've read, they destroy the old frame, and send you a new one that has a different serial number.

What model is it? Don't send it back. Gen 2 is where it's at. I may buy it from you or trade you a Gen 3 frame depending on the model.

It's a Glock 22. My issue is, I'd need an hql to trade you

Got ya. I have a Gen 3 G22. Would definitely consider trading it for a Gen 2.

According to this, if you ship it to a manufacturer outside of Maryland, they can send you the same gun or a different receiver with no 77r. If you go through an FFL or the manufacturer is in Maryland, 77r (and then most likely HQL) is needed.
