That's disconcerting. Any idea if it's the same for simple variations?

Opposite situation to me - I have my FAC and applying for my SGC. Applied end of March, contacted Police Scotland (Aberdeen) mid June and was supposed to have a home visit the following week, it's August and still no visit.
I suppose the middle of the busy period for renewals + PC's doing the legwork = Low priority for new applications and long processing times!

No, they quoted me 5-6 weeks to add a rifle and it took them 7 weeks to turn it round.
