I just bought my first restricted, a g17 from armseast.ca. Is there anything on my end that I need to do? I live in BC.

I did too yesterday since its the first time they are back in stock. First time buyer in that gun shop too but I already bought from other online store. Likely they will ask for the scan of your range membership card if your province CFO require it (I do in Qc). After that they will sent you the refence number and you will have to wait till your province CFO process the transfert.

Right on! So other then possibly having to send proof of my range membership it’s just a hurry up and wait type of deal.
