I received the pre-paid UPS label for returning the FNP-40.
And a shooters pack with a paddle attachment included.
So far, very good.
I took the gun to the UPS store today.
The countdown begins.

what was wrong with the gun originally? or what was the malfunction

 

[RV]

A small plastic part in the firing control assembly. I understand that the part has been redesigned and works fine now.

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take for you shipping label to arrive? I talked to Bob last Wednesday, and I still have not received a label. I know Bob is busy and Id rather not have to bother him, but I am starting to wonder if it got lost somewhere in the chain.

Assuming the label was sent from the Offices in McClean, VA it would only have to travel about 15 miles to get here.

 

[RV]

Don't remeber exactly, about a week to 10 days.

 

[Ronin]

Excellent, thank you.

I will give it a few more days before bothering Bob again.

 

[RV]

3 weeks and waiting.

 

[Ronin]

Id hate to rub it in, but I shipped mine out on the 8th, and it arrived yesterday morning.

Maybe my failure was more common than what happened on your 40. Either way I hope it gets there soon, and more importantly will never have to go back.

 

[RV]

Three and a half weeks.
Called today.
Waiting for parts.

 

[RV]

Five weeks and waiting for the new part.
No ETA on it.

Five weeks and waiting for the new part.
No ETA on it.

Call back.

 

[RV]

Have called at 3, 4, and 5 weeks.
Did I make a mistake by not buying a ....?

 

[RV]

6 weeks and 1 day and it is back in my hands.
Call to Bob A. I think helped get things started.
Tomorrow to the range for my first shooting experience with the FNP40.

Glad you got it back. Let us know how the range session goes. Did they indicate which part it was, was it the fire control group housing?

 

[RV]

The broken part was the "fire control housing", part #13 from the exploded view. The new part has been slightly redesigned.

 

[B52U]

Yep, thought that would be the issue. Glad it's all fixed up for you now.
