Hey guys quick question, I purchased my first pistol online and I just received an email with my transfer reference number. My question is, do I call the CFC like I normally do for pistol purchases with this number or do I wait and let them take care of it themselves? This is my first time doing it so I just want some clarity. Thanks guys.

If the transaction is between two individuals, the seller initiates and the buyer completes the transfer. When purchasing from a retailer, the transfer is completed without the buyer’s involvement. It has been my experience that, some retailers will provide the transfer no. as a courtesy.
There may be some retailers that do this differently but I have never experienced it.
Im going though the same deal here - waiting on the firearms office to approve the transfer. You can use the reference number to call in and ask whats going on.
In a private transfer, like person to person, there is some additional steps where you have to call in. Buying from a business, you just basically have to wait. Doesnt hurt to call, but you dont have to.

If the business is shipping to your door,you don't have to call.I sometimes call after a few day's with the ref no. just to see how things are going,they (CFC) don't seem to mind and I think it can help speed up the process..
