steve d Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Can shortening the stock of a new gun invalidate/affect warranty at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Ask the warranty provider. I'd say yes, but it depends on the firm/maker policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) I would think yes too! Warranties are usually invalidated by modification. Edited August 22, 2017 by panoma1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I would think yes too! Warranties are usually invalidated by modification. Correct. I wanted to put a Hogue stock on my new Ruger 10/22, which basically is a straight swop over, and was told that the warranty would be invalid, should I do so. I did it anyway!

ips Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I cant see why it should but i suspect anything to get out of a claim would be utilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Correct.

If you do get a problem put the original stock back on and nobody will be any the wiser . Except Pigeon Watches ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 If you do get a problem put the original stock back on and nobody will be any the wiser . Except Pigeon Watches ! I wouldn't do that of course. The rifle was sold with both stocks, a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quentyn Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Correct.

I did it anyway! i had a daystate dealer tell me if i swapped on a rowan trigger to a regal it would invalidate the warranty, well it needed to go back to daystate ( i cut out the dealer) and they didnt bat an eyelid Cutting the stock i would think would invalidate the warranty on the stock at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 My first reaction was to assume we were talking about shotguns in which case I would be amazed if the importer so much as tried it on, providing the fault is mechanical but even with rifles I can't see why or how they could claim shortening the stock (presumably to make it fit and feel more comfortable) would have any bearing on it developing a fault. I would have none of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve d Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Sorry, yes its a Guerini shotgun, im getting a thinner butt pad for it, but just wondered if it came to the chop what the score with the warranty would be. As stated above, cant see how lopping 1/2" off the stock could be deemed responsible for it developing a serious mechanical fault. If the stock split because some ape graunched a pair of coach screws into it to hold on the pad, then fair do's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
