The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

1. Change of FAC designated club
2. One-for-one variation
3. Asked for additional slots (another .223, a .300 whisper, .260 remington, 2 additional S1 Shotgun slots)
4. Asked to increase .223 allowance from 250 to 1750 (want a single batch of ammo for a season of CSR, the imperial, zeroing and practice)

Posted today signed for first class delivery. They are already aware of the first 2 requests. Let's see 1) how long it takes, and 2) what slots they let me have.. I have good reason for all requests... but we know what we think is reasonable and good reason doesn't always match up with the licensing teams..

My variations were no where near as complicated and it's been 5 weeks already.....

You coming tonight?

I'm not expecting a quick turnaround, probably as long as my initial grant! But I did just have a call from them asking me where my variation was (I spoke to them back in Feb about change of club) so they're being proactive :)

Erm, yeah I might come along tonight for an hour or so..depends how my day goes! You there tonight mate?

Just had a call to arrange a visit, which is first thing tomorrow morning.. so just over a week from it leaving my hands. Can't ask for any better than that!

Let's see how the variation requests go :)

Just had a call from the firearms team to check something, the post was missed today but will be in the post tomorrow apparently! Pretty much bang on 5 weeks, and for a less than straightforward variation too... good job Kent! :)

the way iv always done a variation is . post it , 2 days later ring them to make sure they have it , that way its in there hand and they tend to do it there and then

if you send it on a thursday so they get it friday they process it then and sign it off monday so you have it tuesday


many a variation i have dun thsi way

Got my FAC back today, everything I wanted except slightly less .223 than I asked for (as expected!). Still workable so I'm happy.

Good job Kent :)

how many 223 did you get ?

1200
