Born Hunter 17,623 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) I applied for my FAC with Linc's. Mid-late December sent off, received it by mid Feb. Always been good with me. I'm with Nott's now though. A couple of mates renewed their SCs in summer with Linc's and got temporary certs sent out as there was such a delay. Nott's are okay too but seem to make their own rules up. Linc's seem more relaxed. Edited March 5, 2015 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post
goldfinger 135 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Notts been fine with me about 12wks on first fac application, FAO very polite and helpful cannot fault them. Quote Link to post
Born Hunter 17,623 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm happy with them, they sorted my 25-06 variation smoothly and fairly. But seem to ignore the home office regards anything larger than 22CF for fox and seem more strict on open tickets than Linc's. Quote Link to post
Tremo 138 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Can't speak highly enough of the Gwent Firearms Department. My Grant was turned around in a handful of weeks and Variations take about a week. The FEO is a good chap and the Admin Team are always very helpful. To date I just can't fault them on the service.

Lewdan 17 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Same here, Applied for a variation 5 weeks ago, had a call yesterday from FEO to say all ok and ticket on way back to me, no home visit required. Happy Days. LD Quote Link to post
Tremo 138 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hey Lewdan. Where in Gods Country do you live? PM me, and perhaps we can arrange a foray sometime soon? Quote Link to post
