It'll mean exactly what you applied for Rob and the usage of it, as what you told your FAO, I woulden't chance getting anything else, as they will not be happy.

cheers Bob, i applied for .22 rimfire & thats what iv got. i was just wondering why it did'nt say that. wasn't even considering chancing anything else. that would be very stupid.

Hmm, mine says RF but apparently a gunshop would be unlikely to sell me a WMR. Never tried though, quite happy with my LR

Hi All

It should say whatever you applied for. i.e. .22 L/R etc With that vague wording I'm surprised any gunshop sold you a .22LR without checking first, bad practice that by the Licensing bods.

Like i said i applied for 22lr but my FAC says 22 bolt action rifle & thats all.

If it says just .22 bolt action it means any bolt action in .22, although if the police feel like arguing the toss they will.
