What do I need to send to Shaw?

A completed Barreled Action Order Form for each firearm being sent. DO NOT wrap the order form around the barrel or action. Place it inside an envelope inside the package.
The Barreled Action (or just the Action if no barrel), Complete Bolt, and Trigger.
*NOTE: You do NOT need to fully disassemble your bolt or trigger. Doing so increases the chance of damage to and/or loss of small parts.
NO Stock or any accessories, unless the accessories are steel and are to be refinished along with the barreled action. Stocks received will be returned separately at additional cost.
If drilling/tapping a military action for scope base(s), we prefer that the base you want to use be sent with the firearm.
Do NOT send dummy cartridges. We do NOT cut custom throat dimensions. We adhere to SAAMI specifications unless otherwise noted.

What address do I ship to?

How should I ship my firearm?

Ship via USPS
Use a plain, appropriately sized box. NO rifle cases. Hard cases received will be returned separately at additional cost. BOXES MUST NOT INDICATE THE CONTENTS! Do not ship in a box marked with a firearm manufacturer name.
Use appropriate packing materials, e.g.: Packing Paper, Bubble Wrap, etc.
Use a rigid material to support the trigger.
Make sure the contents are secure and the package is free of any movement. Movement=Potential Damage! Shaw cannot be held responsible for any shipping related damage.

Are there any shipping restrictions?

For the majority, sending your firearm to us is easy. You will ship directly to us and we will ship directly back to you once all work has been completed.
^{Ref. 18 USC 922(a)(2)(A)}
It is up to the individual to have knowledge of, and abide by, any and all federal/state/local ordinances regarding the transport of firearms. If you live in an area that requires firearms to be shipped through a Federally Licensed Dealer, do so!

For those attempting to save on shipping costs by either cutting the barrel (see next entry) or removing it completely by yourself; think again. It is much easier and convenient for us to remove barrels at our facility.
DO NOT EVER CUT A RIFLE BARREL BELOW 16 INCHES! Doing so without the proper licensing/approval by the ATF is a FELONY punishable by a maximum of 10 years imprisonment or a maximum fine of $250,000. We are obligated to report such incidents if we recieve them.

What about payment?

No deposit necessary! You are NOT required to fill in the credit card information on the order form. We will contact you at the time of completion for payment.
Promo Codes apply to these orders as well! (Unless otherwise noted in the promotion details.) Enter in the space provided on the order form.

How will I know when my rifle is done?

Once your barreled action is complete and ready to ship, we call you at the phone number you provide to us on the order form. We do NOT let finished product sit around and wait for you to contact us.
