Bunny Boiler 177 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 FEO's dont always just have firearms to deal with. Sometimes they have other roles at the station, so can take months. Others just have lots of work so can take months. Some have a shit admin process and so take months. Some are well oiled and take days. My FEO was around in days and my certs where in a few days after I had to sort out a blip with my land owners. Very fast. Its all luck of the draw. Quote Link to post
Tornado1979 145 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 My FEO visit was done within 2 weeks of sending application off, I've since been waiting 8 weeks for certificate. Quote Link to post
Al69ec 5 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Mine took exactly 7 days from posting application to receiving ticket. First application all tho I do hold a shotgun cert as well. Came open straight away, got approved for both .17 hmr and .243 and no conditions on quarry for either calibre very happy christmas for me Quote Link to post

Alsone 789 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) I'm not even that jealous.. honestly haha nice one mate, North Yorkshire don't mess about by the looks of things Derbyshire are very good as well. My friend was "invited" to apply for his FAC after holding an SGC for a couple of years - more or less exact words relayed to me "..you've held a SGC for a few years, wouldn't you like to apply for a rifle?" , and was then "invited" again to apply for an open ticket :icon_eek: . Got cert back quickly and within 6 months of being invited to apply had .223 and .22rf and within 6 months of going open had added .30-06, all totally open. Lucky motherless child (expletive ).
