Has anyone in Ontario had a transfer approved in the last couple of days? If so what was the first 4 digits of your reference number? I'm hoping to gauge the speed that they are being approved at.

There’s a GunNutz thread where people are posting their Ref #s:

5886XXX initiated May 31, approved July 14

Should give you some estimate, they are way behind…

I’m 5888xxx, nothing yet.

Then there's some randomness to this. I have 5881 and I actually got the gun a week ago.
