How long before I can get a centerfire

[Rifleman88 28]

Hiya lads, I've just applied for my fac and police inspecting my gun cabinat monday.

Ive put down .17hmr, .22lr and 223, just wondering when I'll be eligable for a centerfire rifle and also how long does it normally take for your fac to come back after your Cabinat's been inspected?

Cheers Nathan

.223 is centrefire or am I missing the point.

 

In answer to your other question it depends on your local firearms dept but mine took 5 weeks start to finish with the visit happening after 3 weeks.

 

My feo said people are unlikely to get centrefire on their first FAC but I guess if you can prove a use and experience enough to satisfy them, who knows.

How do people get a centre fire if they have to get a r/f first.

I second that,I had to wait a few months and even then when I applied for a 22-250 and .270 , I got knocked back for the .270 because I hadn't actually been and done any deer shooting for which I was applying to use it for.
