Is anyone getting through to the CFO for restricted transfers?

I understand that the sheer volumes of transfers is slowing things down immensely, but everytime i try to start a Restricted transfer by calling in for the reference number, it drops the line. How are gun stores managing to get anything done?

Is there a different number we can call or a way to do it all online?

Super frustrating and it feels like the gov is more than happy to make it as slow and painful as possible.

The guy I bought a Vostok Margolin off of took 3 days to get through. The first day he called 23 times and did not get though. On the second day he called 72 times and still did not get though... He didn't tell me how many times he called on the third day.

If you are not retired and your time is valuable to you it might be better just to mail the transfer request in.
