On avg, about 3 months once they got the application, and then 1 month more after they charge your credit card.

IIRC, Duck Season is from October-January, so that isn't too bad...

Oh, well, then it's definitely open season then.

Sometimes, it's the location that also matters!

Check out the Canadian Gun Nutz thread on PAL timelines. Don’t have the link handy as I’m on my phone but that’s what I’ve been watching. Still waiting on my stuff.

Well, on the bright side, that's more time for me to save up money to buy guns and surplus ammo.

Btw have did they even charge your credit card yet?
