UESTIONS
If your Winchester rifle or shotgun should ever need service
or repair, it is often best to utilize one of our Authorized
Service Centers. In some cases it is appropriate to use the
Winchester Rifles and Shotguns Service Center in
Arnold, Missouri. A list of Authorized Service Centers
was included with your new firearm. If you need a new
listing, contact us. We can help you determine the best
place to service your firearm.
In order to avoid delays, it is important to never send your
gun directly to our facility without direct authorization
from one of our service specialists. This avoids possible
delays in obtaining service. Contact us at (800) 322-4626
for details on how to receive service before sending
your gun.
Parts listings, Service Center lists, service procedures,
service/repair form and general product information are
also found on the Web at: www.winchesterguns.com.
When returning your firearm for servicing, you must do
the following:
1. Be sure it is completely unloaded.
2. Remove the scope or other optics.
3. Package it securely in a cardboard container.
4. Enclose a letter with your firearm that clearly describes
the trouble experienced, the ammunition used and the
repairs desired. Also include your name and a daytime
phone number where you can be reached.
5. If convenient, send a copy of the letter to us separately.
6. Never return ammunition with your firearm. It is
against postal and most commerce regulations.
