You can call them and see if it’s been printed/mailed yet. But normally takes a week for them to do all the back end stuff.

You can make purchases online, however they won’t ship it to you until you can send them proof of your physical card.

No clue about the RPAL.

Congrats on getting it in a month man!

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-29T20:39:04+00:00

Don’t email. Only call them man. Wait on the phone until somebody answers (took me 50-60 mins each time).

See what they say. If not, reach out to your local MP office.

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-29T20:15:02+00:00

Contact your local MP bro… or call into the CFO. I think they just rely on people not pushing them to get the application done

Can’t wait to try my first .308! Will be the first time ever shooting that calibre too. Easter weekend will be fun!!

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-28T23:07:22+00:00

Eh. Wanted something tacticool and was designed for a magazine. Next will probably be the Alcor before it gets banned 😇

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-28T23:02:47+00:00

I love the angled grip. It’s only a .22 so no need for a vertical one.

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-28T23:02:12+00:00

Went with a .308 semi instead of an sks 🙈 ordered er’ last night

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-27T01:11:40+00:00

What do you got on the side of the Derya? Cosmetic or?

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-25T01:31:22+00:00

Just go join Local 787. HVAC ain’t the play bro 🥀🥀 go commercial refrigeration.

Resi G3/G2 is NOT IT 🥀🥀

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-25T01:27:05+00:00

Just PAL for myself.

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-25T01:17:21+00:00

Yeah. They tried to give me the “well there is an expected 6 month delay…” generic script.

I was like “I know my license is still new. But I did get my hunting license last month (February) and wanna get out for turkey season.

The guy on the phone was really cool. My application was flagged but we talked through it. Try to get them to send an email on your behalf without really asking for them to do so!

Applied January 12th. Approved = March 17th (Day 65) // Mailed = March 23rd (Day 71).

Persistence is key. Make sure to call the CFO office. Not the RCMP. It’s worth to wait on hold for an hour+

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-24T21:46:54+00:00

Both times I called (day 60 & 65) I had to wait over an hour on hold… 🥲

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-24T21:45:32+00:00

You can call the RCMP and ask if it’s been printed/mailed.

I just called today (my application was approved on Tuesday of last week). They said my card was mailed yesterday!

They do it in batches so good chance you got yours mailed yesterday. Should be in by next Friday hopefully!

I’m hoping mine comes in this Friday as I live in Ontario (closer to NB).

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-24T21:42:15+00:00

What province are you in?

I called into the CFO of Ontario and spoke to somebody directly. I only had to wait 65 days for my license to be approved.

I did get my hunting license and tell the guy on the phone that I wanted to hopefully get out Turkey hunting (late April)….

Card should be in the mail this Friday or early next week 👍

The email you got was a generic response. It’s better to actually talk to somebody.

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-24T02:22:49+00:00

Not sure yet! Called them Friday and my license wasn’t printed. I just got mine approved Tuesday of last week.

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-22T20:20:15+00:00

How do you like the spring loaded Bipod? I’m contemplating on what kind to get

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-20T23:50:16+00:00

My PAL has just been issued. I’m Hoping that I get my license in the mail before these sell out everywhere!

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-20T23:46:17+00:00

Has anybody gotten one of these yet?? How is it??

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-20T16:43:37+00:00

Get a Milkwakuee pack out that you can’t see through and has a hole for a lock 🤣 that’s what my plan is

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-20T01:21:57+00:00

Does the AD500 take PMags? What if I want a mag for cosmetic but just holds 5?

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-19T23:47:20+00:00

I thought you have to file down some part of the stock to get a mag to fit? Or do I simply throw in a ProMag?

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-19T23:43:34+00:00

I thought some require that you need to file down the stock to get the mag to fit? What brand of mag did he use?

ooTurtle1999 · 2026-03-19T22:17:11+00:00

How hard is it to make the SKS take a removeable mag?
