njc110381 0 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Good luck with the application. What did you ask for and for what reasons? Quote Link to post
whippeter69 88 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hopefully it will be rather fast, my step mum just had her SGC renewed and only took 1 week. Iv gone in for a .22LR plus moderator for vermin, was going to go for a .17HMR but I think because of my age the police will be happier if I had a .22LR first then go in for a 17HMR. Cheers guys, whippeter Quote Link to post

I hope not Ow god, mind you, my SGC took 5 months But if they do take long i dont really want to hustle them up because it my first FAC, so BASC advised me to ring them first and they will deal with it if they take very long.

Blacksheep 6 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Cheers SS Don't panic if it takes ages , i'm told Dyfed Powys are very busy at the moment , i still have not had my SGC and FAC back yet and i sent them in 8 weeks ago for change of address , had my cabinets re-inspected at the new address almost straight away but no sign of the certificates yet Quote Link to post

Over half the land mass of Wales with probably more SGCs and FACs on issue than anywhere else in England and Wales They must have fits and spurts where all of a sudden there are 10,000 certificates to re-issue and then nothing for months Quote Link to post
