meldino2005 39 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi all,just had the feo come round regarding my fac, all seemed to go well and seemed happy enough and even advised i change one of the calibres due to the difference in price of the gun and ammo which i thought was good of him to do. I was wondering how long you waited to hear back or recieve your fac after the interview? just keeping my fingers crossed now Quote Link to post
hutchey 147 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 depends on area, for my first FAC, 3.5 months until it came in post variation was faster Quote Link to post
meldino2005 39 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 im in mid wales ( dyfed powis police ) i took along time for my sgc around 6 months i was just hoping that my fac might be a bit quicker Quote Link to post
matty thud 42 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 took me 8 week start to getting ticket taken longer for 2 permissions passing for fac 12 week now Quote Link to post
shergar 42 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 My first fac I had through the post one week after a visit from the feo . I think it just depends on what force are dealing with your request and how busy they are. Quote Link to post
Davesdad 10 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Just had my interview this week. I'm in Aberdeenshire, really hoping it is quicker than 6 months! Quote Link to post
shootinforfood 18 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 from interview took 4 months for both FAC and SGC to arrive, however took nearly 14 months for interview to be arranged. Quote Link to post
The one 8,477 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Think it took roughly two months time they do the checks and issue it Quote Link to post
Craig83 52 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Took me 6 weeks from paper work in until it was on my doorstep Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Firearms grant was 10 weeks total, 8 weeks from interview. Kent police. Quote Link to post
meldino2005 39 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Seems to be different with different forces, just a waiting game now then. When i applied for my sgc a friend done his the same time who lives 5 mins from me and he recieved his within 4 weeks and mine was 6 months as mentioned before,i will update any news ( hopefully good ) Also were any of you lucky enough to have an open ticket on first grant? Im not to bothered if mine ( if approved ) is on a closed as i have alot of ground which i know has been passed for the calibres i put down for but i do have alot of other ground which i did not put down. The feo mentioned that a .17hmr will automatically become open after the 5 years but can be applied for sooner if you have fired enough rounds and experience with that calibre. Cheers guys Quote Link to post

DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 What calibres have you applied for? I had no chance of an open ticket....... Quote Link to post
meldino2005 39 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 What calibres have you applied for? I had no chance of an open ticket....... ive put down for an fac air,.17hmr and 223. I'd like an open ticket same as everyone else would but i doubt it. Quote Link to post
