Shipping & Returns

FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY:

Firearms and parts manufactured by ATAC Defense are backed by our Full Lifetime Warranty and are warranted to be free from defects in materials and craftsmanship. Liability under this warranty shall be limited to the obligation to repair the defect or replace the firearm/part at our discretion. Unauthorized modification of the firearm or part will void this warranty. The lifetime warranty does not cover ordinary wear and tear or any damage resulting from careless handling, neglect, repairs or adjustments, improper, substandard, reloaded or defective ammunition, corrosion, or other unreasonable use of the firearm or part.
ATAC Defense shall not be responsible for incidental or consequential damages with respect to economic loss or injury to property, whether as a result of express or implied warranty, negligence or otherwise. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

If you are shipping a firearm to us to for repair:

3 Steps for sending in a firearm for repair:

  1. Call for an RA number for your firearm (RA = Return Authorization)
  2. Pack the unloaded gun(s) in a case or box and secure it inside another shipping package. The original ATAC case is preferred. Remove ALL other items from the case including magazines (DO NOT SEND MAGAZINES OR ANY ACCESSORIES).
  3. Print out your shipping label and attach it to the package. Please be sure that all label information prints out on the paper clearly, and take the package to a main UPS or FedEx shipping hub/terminal.  Most retail locations such as Kinko’s or UPS stores will not ship firearms.
