I thought I updated, but I guess I didn't.

My PTA was approved on the 9th day and the PTA was faxed on the Monday afternoon. I had contacted WLB and it turns out that their printer was having problems, which resulted in it being delayed for faxing. (I imagine this caused issues for permits being sent through the mail).

Finally have my new rifle :)

Going to take this to the Ipswich range next weekend for some fun.

You should have atleast been called/emailed by WLB to confirm identity by now as well as potentially called regarding confirming your personal details.
if not, I'd give them a call and just politely explain the situation to date and they should sort it out asap.

Finally got PTA approval email yesterday, applied on the 24th last month, called weapons licensing this morning to ask when it will be faxed through and it was meant to be going through late this afternoon, so hopefully it was and I can go pickup my new Marlin lever gun in the morning...

In most cases I think it is. Emailing it would be the sensible option, which is why it doesn't exist.

You got that right 9line, you'd think in this day and age they'd be able to send it by email, either to you or the dealer then you just print it out and you're away.
Instead they (licensing) have to print it out and either snail mail it to you, or if it's being faxed it still needs to be printed then fed through the fax machine and sent off which all eats up valuable man hours....

So I finally got hold of weps licensing and they tell me my latest pta although it's been approved has a 28 day wait. Can't tell me why can't do anything about it. What a load of utter horseshit!!!! I'm officially pissed off :x
