Sask transfer times

[swampdog]

After hearing about the delays in several other provinces, I have to compliment the Sask CFO staff on their efficient service.

The last two transfers that I did this week took only a few minutes. After the seller emailed me the transfer number, I called in to the 1-800 number to verify the purchase. Then I called the provincial CFO and they completed the transfer while we were on the phone. Then the fax spit out the transfer and ATT. The process couldn't work better than that.

*Grumble*...Hearing about other provinces fast transfer times is like rubbing a salt/lemon juice/ hot pepper mixture in the wound. God I hate ontario

I must admit that SK is fast. I bought a couple of pistols recently and the transfers were done within a couple of days at the longest.

My last transfer for a 1911 bought from a store took 5 weeks and it wasnt an online purchase it was for pick-up!!!!!. Im acctually holding off on buying anymore restricteds for now cause when I buy something I usually expect to have it soon. Not a month and a week later after i gave my money away

I've heard of cases in BC where the transfer of restricted firearms from a dealer takes as little as an hour - it should be like that everywhere.

They're on the ball sometimes that's for sure. Sold a restricted in the last little while....from start to finish took 3 hours or so from start transfer, buyers part, and confirm good to go. Would have mailed it that afternoon if I'd known it was going to be that quick.

Of course, I've had an sks held up so I'll hold off on the x-mas card for now.

Just bought a .44 magnum from an online dealer, transfer took less than a few hours with the BC CFO. Probably would have taken less had I called in.

Fastest transfer was about 5 mins, slowest was 2 days. From shops in Sask to me, located in Sask.

It seems that the farther East you go, the longer the transfer times get. Wonder why??

After all, it IS the same process in Ontario as it is in Alberta.

Mb CFO's pretty good, mostly done over the phone in a day, ATT faxed right away. The longest for me was a 1957 Ruger Blackhawk 44 mag four digit serial number took five days

Manitoba takes 1-2 days as well (buying online & in-store). No complaints here.

Once your in the system, it's no big deal transfering restricteds in Alberta.

Sincere thanks once again for reminding those of us in Ontario how painfully slow the transfer time is.I don't believe we have heard from P.E.I. or Labrador yet.Anyone? Anyone?

A day or two at most here in AB. Many are instant depending where you buy.
