whippeter69 88 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Only took 30mins. Went really well, he hinted that i will be granted it by saying " I see no problem " Just been to get my supervision letter signed by my mentor and i will give him a ring to pick it up. Went in for a .22LR and a Moderator and he said there is no problem at all. Just gotta wait a few weeks for the land check and should all be done Quote Link to post

Tobias 0 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Is it just me or anyone else, i never had anyone come and see me for my variation when i added the 17hmr on my licence but i already had 223 and 22rf on there and even when i bought the new gun no one came and checked it over.?

matt_hooks 188 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Probably because you already had a higher powered gun. If your security is already approved and you have a CF, then they shouldn't need to do much for the .17! Quote Link to post
JonathanL 4 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Is it just me or anyone else, i never had anyone come and see me for my variation when i added the 17hmr on my licence but i already had 223 and 22rf on there and even when i bought the new gun no one came and checked it over.? I found this puzzling too. I've never, ever, heard of people being visited for a variation. A land inspection maybe - if you are applying for something very different to what you already have - but why a home visit? The home visit is essentially to check your security but that will have already been done when you first applied. Juse seems like another waste of money and resources to me. J. Quote Link to post
fox_hunter 1 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 if you want to apply for a .22 rimfire . what do you write down on application. do you write 22lr or 22rf or something also do you write .22lr and moderator Quote Link to post
JonathanL 4 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 if you want to apply for a .22 rimfire . what do you write down on application. do you write 22lr or 22rf or something also do you write .22lr and moderator Just depends what each individual force will accept really. Strictly speaking you just need to put the calibre down. I have three .22 rifles, two rimfire's and a Hornet and all were only ever described as ".22 rifle" on my cert when I acquired them and still are. J. Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Yup, the application form asks only for the calibre, so just put .22. The moderator needs to go down as a separate line, so you will have on line .22 rifle, then the next line .22 sound moderator. Quote Link to post
