Too much to hope that he might come with my FAC already printed and signed and just have a chat before deciding if I'm ok or not :-P :-P fingerscrossed

...either that or he's going to arrest you for having guns without a valid FAC, etc. :run:

Well he's been and there are no issues party2
I asked how long to get it back and he said four weeks sign01

I pointed out how very unhappy i was at that idea on the basis I can't sell my AR etc and requested a temp cert, he then said he'd try and get in rushed through :roll:

Well at least we're moving in the right direction :shakeshout:

So let me get this right.... They turned up after your FAC had expired and told you it would be another 4 weeks.......

THIS!...you SHOULD have had a S.7 Temp Permit IN YOUR HAND before the FEO left the premises!

As others have rightly said - no FAC while is possession is an absolute offence = 5 years MANDATORY - PER OFFENCE

The problem with phoning is that you have no record of the converstion. I think that it is always much better to deal with such important matters by letter or even email and keep a copy. I always ask for a receipt when sending emails to the firearms department these days.

I can see your point :good: unfortunately I can't find an email address for the department :-P I will ask for one when I ring later,
