I purchased two pistols in the past month. For the first one I received a CFO reference number three days later. I assume this means that the dealer has initiated the transfer with the CFO and is waiting for them to complete their end.

For the second pistol, I purchased it two weeks ago and have yet to receive a CFO reference number. I know everyone is getting slammed with all these transfers but should I be following up on this?

I had the same issue with a couple- go back to the vendors website, log in, and view order.

Your transfer number is going to be a 7 digit number, starting with a 59xxxxx or 60xxxxx. Sometimes it’s hidden on the order page and just sitting there as a seemingly random number.
