I was having a hard time finding info about fist time restricted purchases so i thought i'd post my experience so far....
I did some looking around, and decided to purchase from Prairie Gun Traders. here are the time lines...
April 22, inquired about a S&W MP 9 range kit on their website
April 23, got an email back asking for info.. pal#, Date and place of birth , address. then i called and gave them payment over the phone. easy peasy!
April 24, i called the CFO office to check and see if things were good, thats when i was told that they needed proof of gun club membership and that they has mailed me a letter asking for that... but since i called, i can just email it to them, and request that my transfer paper be emailed to me. (i just got that letter today May 1st, so if i hadn't called, the process would have been even longer).
April 24, i scanned and emailed my club membership to the email the lady gave me.
April 30, Got an email from RCMP with my Transfer Notification (TN) and Long-Term Authorization to Transport (LT ATT) in PDF format!
emailed Prairie Gun Traders to see if there was anything else they needed or the item was shipped but haven't heard back, probably busy.
no tracking number yet, not sure if i will be getting one.
so now the waiting game begins! i'll post back with updated, and maybe pics when i get the package!!
UPDATE:
April 30 gun was shipped!!!
May 4 gun arrived on my door step!!!
