    PAL/RPAL Timelines

    this post is the most recent from Ontario: it appears to be about 14 days from arrival at rcmp to 'showing online' [it shows when the cc is charged] then they were approved almost a month later. That is about the best infor you are going to get, the RCMP will tell you up to 4 months due to...

    PAL/RPAL Timelines

    not really. I called to find out that I had under paid [I paid the reduced upgrade amount which is a 'limited time offer'], it saved me about 3 weeks waiting on the snail mail letter, a second call let me know they needed further information about my check box [the layoff question] approved on...

    PAL/RPAL Timelines

    it was 4-6 months not all that long ago, but it appears the timelines are speeding up again. post above yours was what 2 weeks [Aug 26-Sept 10] to show online. Typically when they charge the cc it is online. Don't forget you will also have the mandatory wait time too, so you will not see an...

    its a box of 50 I can't recall what I paid I am thinking it was 30 for the box, I will be happy to get what I paid but I am sure that shipping it will make it prohibitively expensive.

    Contact a range that you are interested in they may have in their bylaws that the board can sponsor new memberships, that is how I got into my range without knowing anyone.

    The Journey of a Newbie

    everyone I have met at the ranges I have been to are REALLY friendly. There has been more than a few occasions where other members have traded me a magazine in order to try out their firearms, and visa versa. I have tried a 9mm Sprinfield XDS, ruger comander 45acp 1911, a winchester 30-30 lever...

    this x2 even if/when you put an optic on the rifle it is recommendable to start the sight-in process at 25yards to ensure you are even on paper, then move out to your desired distance [some people will say at 100 yard intervals for the really long range stuff]

Good choice, I actually want to get a takedown version myself. I have the...

    PAL/RPAL Timelines

    I agree there is SOMETHING holding it up, and it could be the ref check, but like I said I don't think they are even checking them (at least mine weren't contacted 2 months ago, along with everyone on the cgn thread up to that point)
