I can't recall ever being asked if I was the original owner, with any manufacturer's warranty work.

I think policies change over time and even how your individual experience might turn out, based on who happens to answer the phone when you call CS.

Probably the best thing you can do before you buy a specific gun is check with that manufacturers CS and ask very pointed questions about what you can expect.

Not familiar with purchasing used firearms. From my understanding many manufacturers will request a copy of the original receipt before any repairs could be done to a firearm. In this case, if I'm the second owner of the firearm without the original receipt, would the "used" firearm still be covered under warranty?

Smith & Wesson never asked me for anything when they replaced a 642 with a cracked frame. I don't recall Remington doing so either when I sent a 1911 back for repair. I'm not sure that they didn't, I just don't remember them doing so.

I hear Taurus will fix any of their guns, and they get lots of opportunities.

Unfortunately they'll make it as good as new.

Not one single manufacturer has yet been named to require proof of purchase, in this thread. I think we are reacting to a hypothetical situation, not reality.

Benelli SBE 2 wasn't cycling. Aside from the PITA to send it back UPS, everything was done free of charge.
