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
