Anyone purchase from Marstar recently?

[THX-1138]

like the subject says, has anyone purchased any restricteds from Marstar recently, from outside of Ontario?

I was considering ordering a norc 1911a1 today, but if I have to rely on the Ontario CFO to handle any part of it (Im in Alberta) and their delays are still 3-4 weeks, I'll just wait, and get something else locally, where the transfer takes 2-3 days.

The CFO is much faster with dealers (as opposed to priviate sales)

I ordered a CZ from Epps...and the transfer was about a week...

 

[THX-1138]

hmm, thats not that bad. I still have to think a little bit more if I want to actually get a norinco, even if it is only for "fun".... but knowing its about a week to get the transfer completed makes it more likely to happen


ps thanks (I really need to drink more coffee this morning, I cant believe I didnt say thanks)

Your CFO approves your purchase.
My last two ON transfers were approved same day, while I waited. One was about 20 minutes, start to finish.

You can try CanAm, who is in BC.

Yeah, too bad they have to deal with the Ontario CFO on transfers. With dealers in BC the transfers go thru very quickly. Last few dealer initiated transfers I've had on restricted were less than 24 hours. Non-restricted is while you wait, usually minutes. I think the situation is getting better in Ontario but still not as good as out west here...........

Both these ON transfers were waaaaay under 24 hours.

I have ordered two restricted from Marstar on different occasions and both times I had the gun in my hands within 7 days.

Marstar gets pretty backed up this time of year though.

I ordered some parts about a month ago, so no worry about cfo, and I had them within a week.

If you're in AB, the AB CFO does your transfer, not the ON CFO. The CFO of the buyers province does the buyers transfer, not the sellers province. The ON CFO has nothing to do with it.

(That said, the ON CFO is doing two day transfers lately anyway).

Hope that helps.

I purchased a Norinco .22 Colt lookalike, and had it shipped to BC, no problems. Quick efficient survice from Marstar.

I just ordered a pistol today and was told within 3 weeks. I'm hoping sooner, but only time will tell.

thanks for the posts, I ended up placing an order this morning, after reading through them all.... now I just have to wait for Canada Post to knock on my door

I ordered a pistol and magazines from Marstar last monday. I haven't heard anything, and they didn't answer my query email sent this monday.

I was told by the guy on the phone at Marstar, that it would be 3 or 4 days for the "ladies upstairs" to process the order and get it put in to the CFO, after that if previous experince holds true, it'll be 2 or 3 more days, and then they can ship it.

This will be my first restricted via mail order though, which was part of the hesitation.

If you call Marstar, they will probably answer your questions, they were pretty helpful this morning for me.

You need a PAL to have firearms, but they can ship firearms through the mail?

I ordered 3 restricted from Marstar. It took 12 days from the time I ordered until I picked up at Post Office.

Not bad, I live in Northern Alberta.
