Got my Norc NP-29

[aquadorhj]

Thanks guys at CanAmmo.

painless shopping there.

one thing, though, is that the shipper(can post?) just dropped my pistol on the front porch when i wasn't home.

is that how it's normally done? it worked out great, because i didn't have to go to post office and call CFC for ST ATT, but it did surprise me..

it ain't your fault, and Thanks again!

seems common, we have complained, but they often use contractors. Glad it arrived safe.

Thanks for the order.

has happened to me at least 30 times in the last 4 years. I even put a huge mailbox attached to my house next to the door, so that even the dumbest, most time-challenged postal contractor can chuck it in there rather than lean it against the door, at the bottom of the steps, or with one of my WAY TOO OVERLY HELPFUL neighbors that once took a rifle for me and didn't bother to tell me it was on their kitchen table until 2 full weeks were up. The RCMP were sure glad the AR15 found its way home.
CANAM certainly has ZERO control over where posties drop their stuff. ( I bought an NP29 from Canam too and love it.)

I've never had to get an A.T.T. to pick up or get a restricted firearm at the Post Office. That would be about 4 occasions now. I wonder what would happen if I got stopped by the cops on the way home? "You have some explaining to do, Lucy".

I don't need an ATT to pick up my mail at the post office.....

Unless you open it on the post office counter, or on the dash of your car,then start waving it around in traffic, you don't need an ATT to pick up your parcel. It contains an unknown piece of earthly matter that could also be a chain for your motorcycle. No ones business until you get it home, unwrap the unknown parcel, discover a "restricted firearm" that is now in its registered resting place. What makes so many people think you need an ATT to pick up a handgun from a post office. I guess if the wrapping paper and box were made of Saran Wrap????

I recently ordered a NP-29 as well. Since it's my first I'm kind of anxious as to when I may receive it.

I'm assume a couple weeks since it's my first firearm and the transfer times for Ontario are notorious. If you don't mind me asking, where are you located and what kind of timeframe did you get it in?

Yellowknife for me, and I got mine in about 3 weeks from the time they got them in (that included trying to transfer probably more than a hundred in a day for them as everyone pre-ordered and started bawling if it didn't get shipped that instant, even though they waited months for them to come in !!!) I just finished putting 900 rounds through mine, (400 factory rounds - 115gr AE with the aluminum cases, then I shot some homerollies, and they were also 115 gr berry's with 6.7gr of Power Pistol and range brass with CCI SP 200 primers. . The only time I had any kind of failure, was with on the first shot with a third mag I bought off the EE.(a bit stiff) The 2 that came with it gave me all those rounds without a FTF/FTE. Plus , its deadly accurate. (once I figured out the hold-under) Awesome gun for the money.

i'm in calgary,

from ordering to my doorstep, probably around 3 weeks total(2 1/2 week, actually)

it's surprisingly in good shape. i've read over and over that norcs are rough outside, but blue-ing (after wiping off the packing grease) seems uniform and dark and fit is good enough for me.

i'm looking forward to my first range trip today with it.

I just brought a CZ off EE. It take Ontario CFO 4 weeks to finish transfer.
