All new WAFFENFABRIK S.A. firearms purchased after January 1, 2023, are warranted to the original retail purchaser only for the lifetime of the said original retail purchaser.

This lifetime warranty explicitly excludes sales to government institutions or law enforcement agencies. Firearms purchased by the military or law enforcement are covered by a one year limited warranty against material defects and workmanship. Also excluded are rimfire .22LR rifles and pistols. Rimfire weapons have a one-year warranty.
