Every day I drive home hoping and hoping my shiny new FAC will have arrived. Obsessive checking of guntrader is like a drug.

west yorkshire did mine in 4 weeks,start to finish,but my fac took about 6 weeks as they said they were busy with renewals!!!!!!!!

[meldino2005 39]

2 days of ringing and i finally get hold of her, her reply was im rushed off my feet at the moment but while your on the phone ill book you in now for the 23rd as thats the only free day i have.

so 8 weeks in all, not too bad!!!

Just been told my variation was posted on 9th 2nd class. To quote something I saw on someone's: Trigger happy? Trigger ecstatic! must be about 3 weeks turnaround which I think is great (Cambridgeshire)

[halamrose 24]

Got mine today -Dyfed Powys. Final visit to collect co-terminous paperwork was 23/10 - FAC delivered 14/11. 16 working days in total or 3 weeks 1 day.

Well happy

ive found the sg i want so just waiting now!!!!!!! be worth it in the end

how long should i wait to apply for my fac? i should of done it the same time really

[fiona22 0]

I had my SGC for almost 5 years, I think it had 8months remaining. I phoned BASC who discouraged me from going for a co-terminous because it was 'hassle'. So off I went and applied for FAC only for the FEO to encourage me to get both done at same time. It took a week longer because he had to come back to collect the paperwork for SGC.

Just do it, you won't regret it. The FEO was nice as pie. He lives in Aberaeron, so he could well be the one who visits you.

i had feo round for interview after 4 weeks and said shouldnt be a problem, i left it 4 weeks and rang head office and they said theres no problem, been passed for sgc and just needs signing and to ring at the end of the week which i did, they checked and my cert was bottom of the pile so they said they put on top .... rang back a week later and it went on lol.... but then came home one day and it was here, was 11 or 12 weeks from applying ( linconshire ) so not bad at all ... although they did mess me about and a good job my perm is with a gamekeeper who gave me great advice all the way.....

I called every day until they got fed up and sent it out

[meldino2005 39]

haha keep at them..... feo is at mine today at 2.00 so keep you all informed

[meldino2005 39]

right feo has been and gone....... licence will be here in 2-3 weeks tops.

now she said theres a few things to mention...gulp...... cuations and out comes sheet after sheet.

not bad things but going back when i was 18 etc even failing to produce my licence and insurance on a routine police check at the road side.

but all in all she said you will receive it and she will put a good report in as my last caution was over 10 years ago

didnt look good at first when i seen all them sheets coming out made me feel like a [bANNED TEXT] criminal lol but they know everything so make sure you write down on your application everything as they will know, trust me

anyway ive paid a deposit on the hatsen escort in camo for sale on here ( pikeypaul ) and will put it on my friends ticket untill mine arrives so all good
