Hey guys, I've done a few intra family transfers in the past. It was paper and was sent via the mail. Now they have this CFARS system. Anyone else us it? There are a few pistols that I want to have registered in my name.

I haven't used it for Intrafamilial transfer yet, but have used CFARS for other applications. It's easy to use. Just create an account.

I was gifted a some guns from my father at Christmas. I completed the form online, uploaded a copy of my CCW and paid the fee on Jan 1. Still shows pending.
Last time I did it via snail mail and it took 3 months.

Do they even send confirmation if you do it via mail? I gifted a rifle to my father over a year ago and nothing ever came via mail.

I have always received a paper confirmation in the mail when I mailed in the forms. Online is new territory for me, but I'm sure I read somewhere that it said a paper copy will be mailed in addition to what the CFARS says.

And, for most purposes, you don't need the confirmation; the OPLAW or CFARS activity document a transfer that has already occurred.

It's probably a good idea to wait for some kind of confirmation if you plan to sell the gun(s) in the near future, to avoid the order of transfer confusion, e.g.

Aug 1, A gets gun from B via intrafamilial OPLAW
Aug 30 C buys gun from B PPT, and the AFS database shows C as the new owner
Sept 15 DOJ gets around to processing the OPLAW
