I sent a rifle back to Remington for repair...now they want to send it back but only to an FFL. It was a 597 in 17 HMR and they changed the barrel to a 22 Magnum...it is the same receiver...I thought it could be sent directly back to me.

They can send it back to you. I dealt with Thompson/Center on this, they cited a "CA law" that requires shipping of repaired guns back to a CA FFL only - I bugged them, there is no law and they shipped back to me direct. I've had more than a few other guns, including handguns, sent back to me directly after repair.
I checked the Calguns site - I'm sure the info is on there, can't find it just now though.
BTW - if it goes to your FFL will you be stuck with DROS and 10 day jail?
This is off topic but why is everyone changing from 17 caliber to 22?
Remington has/had a recall on the 17hmr 597s. Offering a discount on some other remington product, or convert from 17 to 22mag
