Right. So that means the puck stopped with you as the original gun owner who obtained the gun at R and then converted it to NR.
The main question still remain: how is it converting R gun to NR now will get the the gun "off the book(s)"? I am genuinely interested as this is the only thing that weighing me down before I spend the extra money to get my second gun to be converted to NR.
In the past before we are required to get reference # to sell or buy NR, people can meet in person and view each other PAL and on we go. There was no "recording" PAL information. This way allows people to get or sell a NR gun without having to be "on the book" so to speak.
