seems like they need to drag it as far as possible,
if they issue all properly they will be out of work, since all courses are suspended

Good choice you won't be disappointed (aside from the cost of ammo). I won one last year and it is tonnes of fun to shoot.

Good to hear!! I was able to find one in 7.62x39 so hopefully a little cheaper on ammo.

Is there a specific time of day they update the website? If I check at 9am and there’s no update is that it for the day? Or are they constantly updating throughout the day?

BC - for my wife

Received Feb 22
May 5, credit card charged
expect 45 days to complete

She did her course in November but was a bit lazy to mail in the form, since I have had my license forever but I said heck, get your own, she is pretty good, I taught her well - she shoots better than me, her eye sight is amazing, the course was a breeze, she achieved full points, first in class. Girls.

Wow! Talk about worst case scenario. Insane wait. Congrats you finally have it over a year later!!

Mine was updated a couple weeks ago (new photo requested and received) but nonetheless I’ve still been waiting over six months now (CC charged Feb. 12th). What a brutal wait.

My new photo was received two weeks ago and I called this morning and was advised it would be another 4-6 weeks for the return information department to process it. Talk about a backlog. Better knowing than not at least.
