I submitted my application via Service NSW on the 8th of February '20 and it was acknowledged on the 12th of February. So far 94 calendar days since applying, or 13 and a bit weeks. I called them at about the 8 week mark and they said not to hold my breath. But mentioned they weren't impacted by COVID at all. A mate of mine applied on the same date and she's in the same boat. I'm not in a hurry by any means but with ranges rumored to be opening back up by Friday the 15th of May I wouldn't mind attending some time soon.

Sent that through and they have recommended my licence for issue following a final police check over the next few days. So assuming it gets issued Monday that will be 109 days from application. Damn they must have flown through December and January?
Now to wait for my letter and off to the RMS.

When I eventually get my license in hand. Do I goto the gun store and place deposit on said rifle and then apply for PTA, or do I apply for PTA and then place deposit on rifle?
The rifle I am looking at is not stocked by my local gun store, however they have told me they can get it in.

If its the same as QLD you don't need a licence to buy a firearm. You need a licence to process a firearm. You can pay for it right now and do the PTA later.
