Application / Regulation advice Olympic exemption

I got my exemption and purchased a pistol on may 18th, the first week of June the CFO had the papers and a week later I got the reference number. It’s now been over a month, with one follow up call and they said ‘it’s still on their desk and hasn’t been reviewed’

I own a couple other registered pistols from pre-ban times

How long have others waited for this process to be finalized?

UPDATE: received transfer notice this morning !
4 days short of two months after purchase

What was your other exemption(s) for? If I can ask, if I had to guess a ruger mark 3, maybe 4

Exempted for a ruger mk4 22/44 (went with the safe option since I knew a couple people who went this route and got one, wanted to see if I could too before filing for anything else).

I’m also actually in talks with a couple verifiers to convert one of those 45LC/410 revolver rifles/ shotguns into a restricted version with a revolver pistol grip, thereby having a pseudo handgun, which so far, is a totally legal channel too

Yeah I’ve heard about this, you can change the grip to make it restricted but the barrel length can’t be modified
They now make those 410/45 revolver shotguns with rifles barrels so it makes shooting pistol rounds make a lot more sense

They did have a 5” barrel version of a 410 only one, I was waiting for a 5” version of a 45/410 one to fully commit to the build. If they weren’t so top heavy though I’d be open to doing it with their 9” barrel version. At any rate, for science, I’ll be doing it at some point haha
