PARA USA’s customer service relocates to its North Carolina headquarters.

Service for all PARA USA and Para-Ordnance firearms will now be done at its new home in the Charlotte, North Carolina area

Effective June 1, 2010 all firearms being returned to PARA USA for any purpose should be sent to the new company headquarters in Pineville, North Carolina. The relocation of its Customer Service Center to the Charlotte area is part of the continuing consolidation of PARA’s operations to its new North Carolina home. Now getting a return authorization number for service is quicker than ever.

Returning a firearm to PARA is easy, all the owner needs to do is call PARA’s Customer Service Department to request a return authorization number. All firearms being returned to the Pineville headquarters must have a return authorization number to insure that they are quickly and efficiently directed to the proper department. All firearms shipments should have a clear and concise letter with them explaining the reason they are being returned.

PARA USA has the best service policy in the firearms industry with its Lifetime Gold Medallion Service Policy for all original owners of PARA and Para-Ordnance firearms purchased after January 1, 2001. Having the Customer Service Center located at its headquarters facility will mean improved turnaround time if a PARA owner should need to have his firearm serviced.

MAKE SURE THAT THE FIREARM AND ANY MAGAZINES ARE UNLOADED. DO NOT SHIP ANY CARTRIDGES WITH A FIREARM.

Starting, Tuesday, June 1, 2010 all firearms being returned to PARA USA need to be shipped to its headquarters in Pineville, North Carolina.

PARA Customer Service is open from 9 AM to 5 PM (EST) and may be reached at 704-930-7600. The address for PARA USA, Inc. is 10620 Southern Loop Blvd., Pineville, NC. 28134.

GLOCK RECALLS GENERATION 4 RECOIL SPRING ASSEMBLIES

 

 

 

GLOCK Inc. is voluntarily exchanging the recoil spring assembly (RSA) on its new Gen4 pistols (with the exception of G26 and G27 models). GLOCK has developed a new design to the recoil spring assemblies on its Gen4 pistols to replace several variations that are functioning in the market today. As part of the company’s commitment to perfection, we are voluntarily exchanging the existing RSA in order to ensure our products perform up to GLOCK’s stringent standards.

GLOCK is replacing the RSA in all Gen4s sold before July 22, 2011 at no cost. Please complete the following procedure to receive a new RSA. The RSA can safely and simply be swapped out using normal field stripping protocols. If you have additional questions, please contact GLOCK at 1-877-745-8523 with your serial number and model number.

CONSUMER ACTION:

  1. Call 1-877-745-8523 with your serial number and model number to request your modified RSA. GLOCK will verify your serial number and collect shipping information
  2. Within 30 days, GLOCK will send you a replacement RSA along with a pre-addressed envelope to mail in your old spring
  3. Ensure your Gen4 is completely unloaded
  4. Field strip your GLOCK per the instructions found in your ‘Instructions for Use’ manual that came with your pistol and replace the old RSA with the new one
  5. Place the old RSA in the supplied shipping container and give to the United States Postal Service (USPS)
