Re: So, my DFO just informed my rifle is listed as "destroyed" .
Is there any chance that an identical firearm was handed in for destruction, and that the paper work got mixed up?
I know a chap who was almost arrested because "his" firearm was used in a robbery.
It turned out that there were two identical firearms - his was in the safe whilst the other was at the SAPS after the robbery.

I suppose anything is possible.
Typo's, duplicate serials, serial in database matched a different firearm and I was the luck one.
Fortunately there appears to be an official process in these cases. Of which there are many, I believe.
Also, I was informed that there is no more moving your firearm from one section to another.
This .303 is under Section 15 and I asked if we could move it to Section 16.
An emphatic "no" was replied with.
I still think the whole database was corrupted in 2006-2008. That was why we all had to reapply.

A friend of mine's pistol was stolen. It was recovered a few days later. After the case was finalised, he got the pistol back.
Two years later he got a phonecall from the police in Strand that they recovered it again...

Reading through this nightmare thread is it any wonder why Americans fervently resist any sort of national firearms registry?

The application with all the tons of paperwork, supporting documents, affidavits, inspection reports is in.
Now we wait I suppose.
I am not naive to think the DFO has any input on how successful the renewal application will be.
Parow DFO's tannie Melani is very helpful in gather all the paperwork, but I suppose that is where it ends.
