    Has anyone found a way to solve this problem please? My DFO is not willing to help and it seems like the Dealer himself is at a lost
    with the way things are, i just feel maybe not perusing a firearm licence anymore losing that desire, too many things goes wrong.

    so Gunsite was my last resort... If anybody can help that would be great
    its nearly a year and im still waiting

    thanks in advance
    Normally email the 350 a and b to armscontrol1@saps.gov.za

    Never give up, the CFR to an outsider seems to be in place simply to be as intrusive to firearm ownership as possible- it's really like they don't want anyone to have a firearm- long waits for approval and jumping through every imaginable hoop they can throw at you is their modus operandi.

    If you are getting a firearm for any legal purpose- it may be the firearm that will one day save your life, you will never get any equalizer as effective as a gun.

    Get an Attorney or join GOSA if you will, get their advice and use it to the best of your ability. There are even higher ups- whom you can contact and hopefully have your issue resolved. The gentleman above posted an email address that would be very useful in that regard.

    I have a barrel in Gov29 and receiver in importer stock. I’m not expecting to submit my app soon. Just not sure what to do from my side, other than insisting the deal gets cancelled. I’d rather not though, as I really want this one and they not plentiful

    Best is when I went to DFO with Apps he says. Sorry can only take when on Dealer stock. Says must ask the dealer to sort it out. But Dealer cant move it from Dept 29 to their stock. Only CFR can and DFO's know this. So except for submitting 350's Dealer cant do the the move they must sort out according to DFO.

    Just to update and ask a small question

    "SAPS msg : Licence Ref. xxxxxx Calibre 9mm PAR (9X19mm) s/n Cxxxxxx was approved. SAPS will Notify you when licence can be collected."

    Just like to know how long does this process usually take?

    Thanks
