Gun not on dealers name yet, code 29
Hi,
Ok, so first time buying a NEW gun and the officer tells me the gun is not yet on the dealers name. A code 29 instead of the dealers code.
Anyone have this happen to them before? How long does it generally take to be registered on the dealers name at CFR?

Get the dealer to keep on bugging CFR. Mine took 3-4 months eventually.

I got mine fixed last week - dealer emailed the details to the following email addresses on Thursday, and it was fixed on Monday morning.
mahlangul6@saps.gov.za; molefeleromo@saps.gov.za; Sikhakhane PN - Colonel <SikhakhaneP@saps.gov.za>

Spoke to them now, apparently they had a sit down with SAPS and other dealers in the area, and they promised the apps would be sorted in 10 days. Now we wait and see.
I know we are all in this together, and we all need to eat. But a little headsup would be nice. Instead of having me drive all the way to the police station only to get turned away. Will have to see how this progresses. I really need the gun for competition. If I had known before hand I wouldve dropped the R11k at another shop. I guess therein lies the issue.

As I understand it the dealers send the info to CFR as to the firearm received by them. CFR seem to be the scapegoat as they are lax in not updating the info on their system. It is not then due to the dealers lack of trying.

Re: Gun not on dealers name yet, code 29
I was in the same boat... DFO phoned me today to say it was transferred to the dealer’s name. In my case the 350 was sent to CFR on 15 Jan and most likely processed yesterday. I enlisted GOSA’s help last week, but I’m unsure whether it was their good work, the dealer putting enough pressure on CFR or just good luck.
