Applying For Fac, Where To Put Request For Moderator?

[lllluke1 328]

I'm applying for my FAC and was wondering where to put request for a moderator on the form. Do I apply for a moderated .22lr and .222, or should I write the rifle on 1 line and the moderator on a separate line?

 

Thanks in advance

Moderator on a separate line matey.

Cheers, I take it I need to put one for each calibre, not just put moderator for the above

Yes each moderator for each rifle needs to be entered

Each moderator is considered a firearm in its own right, so list it separately.

Can't believe this has come up tonight. I'm just filling my application as we speak and was pondering the same point so thank you very much chaps for your insight as well as your impeccable timing

For example:

 

1 x .223 rifle

1 x .223 moderator

 

Then where it asks for reason, put Health and Safety.

I don't think I ever bothered putting a reason for the mod or got asked for one when meeting the FEOs. The attitude towards them is very relaxed.

As everyone else has said basically a sound moderator is classed as a firearm although some are not even proofed , such as the sirocco sm11.

I was actually called by Devon & Cornwall in 2013 when I put in a variation for an additional rifle and asked "Do you want a sound moderator

on this rifle"?

I already had three others all with mod's on, as it was I didn't as I wanted a light carry big bore for 'walking' stalking so wanted to keep it as

plain and light as possible.

On my applications I just say e.g. .270 Rifle with sound moderator, reason 'wanting to shoot without hearing protection' that seemed to do

the job here.

Thanks very much for the advice
