I too have had many clients call me for the same reason in the week. SAPS 350 paperwork sent through ages ago, SAPS fail to do the necessary admin and now I have a pissed off clients that want their money back. Super frustrating! Catch 22 really.

My DFO refused to accept my 271 because the firearm was still on the previous owners name even though I had personally delivered the 534 to them and had received the 350 from the dealer. Don't know why they couldn't just attach the relevant papertrail to my application.

After a month of chasing it up with them they eventually phoned me to say that their system was now showing the firearm on dealer stock and I could go ahead and apply.

Unfortunately (?) the synchronisation is out of whack.

Ask your dealer (nicely... it's NOT their fault) to resend the 350s to armscontrol1@saps.gov.za

And good luck.

Stop Spamming because you didn't get an immediate answer. It's a sure way to piss people off, possibly to the extent that they might not even want to respond to your question.
