Application / Regulation advice Restricted Rifle stuck at CFO Approval

As title. My new restricted rifle arrived in Canada two weeks ago and since then myself and a couple buddies all have not received approval for the transfer by the CFO. We all called and were told this can take several more weeks...

Is there anything that can be done about this? It seems this is only happening in BC as my friends from Alberta and Ontario all got their approval within 2-3 days.

Fyi: we are in BC...

Are you from BC as well? It is ridiculous how long it takes... After the pistol frenzy, it waa back to 1-5 days for transfers. This delay feels so deliberate by BC CFO
