Adam16 1 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Well I printed off the application forms for my FAC/SGC in February and after one thing and another they went into a pile of things to do and I didn't get round to it until last week. Got them all filled out photos ref forms ect. and they have been sent in so fingers crossed it won't be too long before I get a call but playing the waiting game now. Adam Quote Link to post

matt_hooks 188 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Fox, lucky you! Mines coming up for 3 MONTHS now! Though I am with Thames Valley, and just down the road from Hungerford, but still it's annoyingly slow! Quote Link to post

Though I am with Thames Valley, and just down the road from Hungerford, but still it's annoyingly slow! Hi mates, this is Younggun from Northern Ireland. Over here the waiting time for a firearms certificate is at an average about four months!!! But i heard about a farmer who waited over a year for a .22 rifle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post

Adam16 1 Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Well I've had a letter to say my application has been recieved and the cheque has been cashed so all I need now is the phone call for my interview I really can't wait, got a brand spanking new safe at the start of the week so its all looking good.

foxbasher 0 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 foxbasher i come under your patch boy, i live just outside carmarthen, What are they like with the fac? How do mate? To be honest they were pretty good in dealing with the application. I was granted what i asked for (.222 and .17HMR) the local FEO is a sound bloke who's always there to help on various queries i have. All in all a good force to come under in my experience.
