thejez Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) I was looking at the EAA website and noticed this statement about the warranty: "If the gun is a used handgun and the owner is not the original owner, then the factory warranty is no longer valid. EAA will still service the used handgun, but there will be an estimate for the repair." Given the statement above is it smart to buy a used tanfo since the used price is typically only a small amount less than brand new? Has anyone actually run into this stipulation regarding their warranty? thanks! Edited September 27, 2016 by thejez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The "discount" buying used can buy repair parts, should that need ever occur. the platform is pretty straightforward, I wouldn't sweat it, but if you're not a tinkerer it might be a concern.

kneelingatlas Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I've never owned a new one I've owned more than a dozen Tanfos and never has to deal with EAA on a warranty issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejez Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I suppose thats good to know if people aren't running into this ever. It was just curious why this would even matter to EAA or how they would even verify who the original owner was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Capizzo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 LIke Atlas, I have never owned a new one. I've got 3 currently, and sold and open gun within the last year. As long as it isn't abused, don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I shot a used Stock II at nationals without concern. These guns are solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
