Once you purchase from a store, they initiate the transfer- they send your info off and it goes into cue. Long story short, In this current climate, expect many months before you see it. Once it passes thr CFO’s desk, and it’s approved, they email you. They also send you a new RPAL card with an updated ATT. You will have to wait for the new rpal card, the paper work and the firearm before you can bring it anywhere (your range). I ordered one lastnight, received a ref number today or ‘5992 xxx’ so expect a long wait lol..my first one from May 30 (5912xxx) still haven’t heard anything yet…(Ontario)
