Timeline update for y’all

Paid June 21

Received Reference number July 14 (never again ronin sports. Never fucking again)

Asked bc/yt cfo 2 days ago if they needed any more info/foot pics

Got my transfer notification this morning!

Let’s see how long ronin takes to ship. If the rest of my interactions is any indication I’ll have my pistol in early 2032.

NEVER AGAIN RONIN ASDFG

No I emailed them all my info and asked if there was anything else they need

Oh ok maybe i should try emailing them then, been trying to call bc cfo daily but can never get through. Surprised to hear how quickly you got yours approved!

Make sure you send all your info correctly. Dob. Place of birth, both feet, etc.

Also I think bc/Yukon cfo is probably shooters and we’re lucky to have em compared to stuff I been hearing about other provinces.

The difference is that the majority of the panic purchases were in Alberta and Ontario.

If you live outside those two provinces, transfers are going much quicker because the backlog is physically smaller.

How do you know? That’s interesting

Well just common sense and also what my LGS told me.

Restricted transfers need to get approved by provincial CFOs. The place where I bought my CZ told me that the majority of sales have been in Alberta and Ontario which then naturally means those two CFO offices are going to have the largest backlogs to work through.

Purchases that have to go through the BC/Sask/Manitoba etc CFOs are going to be a lot quicker because those provinces simply haven't seen as many purchases.
