no, thats used when renewing your license not for initial application

ok thanks for that,also when i put each calibre im after how do i go about needing a moderator?

If you write down e.g. .22 LR bolt action (or semi auto) in one box, then below it put .22 LR sound moderator. Same for bigger calibers. If you need a reason for the mod always say hearing protection.

can you actually write bolt action (or semi auto) and just leave it like that? so that when you go to shop you could buy either? or even just .22lr? and leave it open as to what action?

not nit picking mate, genuine question

No experience of this as I don't have an FAC but would it not be prudent to write down .22 Moderator rather than .22 LR Moderator?

 

I understand many people use centrefire moderators on rimfire guns because they give superior supression. It would seem therefore that specifying a LR moderator would narrow your options. So question is this allowed to be just calibre specific rather than model specific?

 

In fact I've heard of people even using larger claibre moderators. So again the question would just "moderator" suffice?

a 22cf moderator when placed on a 22lr becomes a 22lr moderator

I didn't bother to be that specific for my rimfires I put that I wanted 2 x .22 rfs and 1 x .22 moderator. That's exactly what it saysd on my FAC.

absolutely no need to put bolt action/semi auto, just put .22lr and sound moderator,only when you have purchased the rifle do you need to state the action type, and if you don't have any firearms that require a firearm cert at the time of applying or renewing put none.

I was just going on what I think I wrote when I did mine 3 years ago. On hindsight and from the other responses I would go with .22 rimfire and .22 moderator.

This is quite useful:

Some people may, it is not common and very possible/probable the sound suppression will be worse than with a rimfire mod, not better, especially on a .22lr. Some air rifle mods, especially those with acoustic wadding give better sound suppression on rimfires, than rimfire mods, but are not safe and don't last long as the pressures blast the wadding apart.

 

Centrefire mods also tend to be bigger and heavier and MUCH more expensive than rimfire mods!

just put .22 LR and sound moderator, job done, as above a moderator fitted to a .22 is for that, you can even use it on another rifle technically..
