Hey all, should i be alright to order attachments in prep for my pal arrival? Just some mags, optics, a grip, etc. Already bought a bolt catch/release but i wanted to double check.

Definitely.

Big-name retailers wouldn't do something illegal (Home Depot selling switchblades notwithstanding) so if they don't ask for your PAL, you're good to go.

Good to hear my friend, any experience with FirearmsOutletCanada?

If you're asking if they'll ask for a PAL for accessories? They shouldn't.

I bought scopes, mags, slings, foregrips, even a complete MDT chassis while I was waiting.

There's only a few things you cannot buy. Actual firearms. Ammunition. And some firearms parts like receivers, and maybe actions? (and I'm not even sure about actions). You can probably even buy barrels, though at some point a shop might decide not to take any chances.
