Hi All:
Just wanted to know of anyone who had to send one of their beloved DW revolvers back to the factory to have it repair/refurbished. I am considering having my 722 sent back to have the double action feature repaired (sadly, it is not an SA only gun). I'm also thinking about having them refit a fluteless cylinder (if they have any more spares in stock). So, anyone have any recommendations on this? Any experiences? I appreciate this and thanks. DW41F.

I have sent a couple of items to Keith at DW and his work and response has been great! Let him know that you heard good feedback on the DWF.

It's been a few years, but DW/CZ did a fine job on my supermag that was getting a little loose, it's now tight as a vault and works great.

After repairs does it go to an ffl or will it come strait to me.

If you send it through an FFL it will come back through FFL. If you
send it to DW yourself it will come back to you.

The only way you can legally send it to them yourself is to have them send you a shipping label (they use FedEx exclusively). Then you must deliver it to a FedEx processing center. You can find the nearest one to you on their sight; make you filter the list by checking the "dangerous goods" box. You cannot ship this through a FedEx/Kinko's.
Keith will add the shipping cost to your repair bill. Then he will ship the gun back to you personally but it will require an adult signature. This is a little complicated but cheaper than taking it to an FFL.
BTW, Keith has done work for me as well and it's always outstanding.

I too have sent multiple revolvers to Keith and his attention to detail and work was terrific. Zoommb hit it right on the shipping, it gets complicated but is the least expensive.

I'm confused here, I have sent guns back to manufature many times using
UPS overnight. Told them it was a handgun and dropped off at there
processing center and paid at the time of drop off. Did the law change
recently ? ?

A non-licensee may ship a handgun only via common carrier to a licensee or manufacturer for repair. You may use FedEx or UPS but must observe their regulations (overnight priority) and you must notify the carrier that the shipment contains a firearm. A rifle or shotgun may be shipped via USPS mail to a licensee or manufacturer for repair. A handgun may not be shipped by a non-licensee via USPS mail under any circumstances. The manufacturer / repair center may return the firearm directly to you.

That's what I thought, didn't know if something had changed I had
not heard. Maybe Illinois has some different laws or something, I have
a brother that lives over there and the stories he's told me about all
the hoops they jump threw for gun ownership is crazy.
Having DW send you a shipping label maybe the best way to go
if they get a shipping discount. I would call and see what they will
charge for a label to return.
