You're right mate. It arrived today, took exactly 3.5 weeks. :thumbsup:

Nice one :)

About one thing which is predicatable with FAR, though their rego accuracy has a bit of poetic licence sometimes heh so pays to check the details, calibre etc. Also amusing seeing how they take a wild stab at guessing Cyrillic characters on Mosin serial numbers lol

Well maybe someday I could try importing one from my home country, such as the Type-88 precision rifle. You'd think Cyrillic character is alien, wait till you see some Chinese :) Surely that'd wrack their IT system.

BTW now is some while after receiving my first REGO of my Cat-A rifle but the second PTA for Cat-B is still at a pending state, 3 weeks in already.

My 3rd PTA got approved last monday and my first rego arrived on the thursday. All three PTAs were issued on day 29-30. So while it doesn't prove anything as far as what FAR actually require to free you from the waiting period it does look like they're consistently getting them out within a month.
I reckon yours will get issued this week sometime.

Steve you're right. My second PTA is Issued today on the 10/5, with an issued date set at 12/05 (as shown on the website), which is two days later. I don't know if it's norm or a mistake. But that doesn't bother me as long as it turn up in the mail.

Just a random question. Do PTAs update on NSW Firearms Registry throughout the week, or only on Saturday mornings?

throughout I’m sure .. my first came thru on a Tuesday (2x Cat A and 1x Cat B) and my most recent was on a Thursday (Cat A).

They both came thru a day ahead of when they became valid (as if you’d get the paper in mail within 24 hours)..
