Rules to live by and far to many letters

I received two letters from RCMP yesterday. The first one stated a transfer was being held up as additional information was needed and to call by a certain date. The second one stated the transfer was complete and I could give the purchaser the firearm.
Purchaser received a similar pair of letters as well.

when it comes time to register 58 unregistered rifles, do it in small separate batches. The reason is that if there is some sort of problem (eg a duplicate serial number) then everything in the batch is held up until the problem is resolved. By registering in small batches you may end up with say one batch delayed but the rest of the registrations will come through. Also if one batch does not come through, be sure to phone and check on progress. When there are hangups, registration applications appear to sit on the bottom of the pile and be forgotten --- at least that has been my experience

if you have firearms with no serial numbers, the sticker rule no longer applies. You no longer need to affix the sticker and I was never even provided any. Also, speaking from experience, if you have multiple firearms with no serial numbers, register each of those separately unless they are all the exact same firearm otherwise. If you have a bunch of firearms that are all the same (you mentioned a crate of enfields), register those all together. It will go much faster that way and your certificates will easier to sift through.
