Put it on a separate line,i.e

.22lr - Rifle

.22lr - sound moderator

 

I never put down a reason on my applications; but I recently submitted a variation for a .308 rifle and moderator for target shooting but was denied the moderator even though I tried to argue that it reduced recoil and therefore made the weapon more accurate. Their reply was that mods are not issued for target shooting but if I get my DSC 1 and land permissions I could have one (another £26.00!)

you had best put it on another line as a mod is a seperate item from your rifle when entered on your ticket. it is for lothian and borders force anyway. either way it wont cock the form up.

 

hope this helps.

you should never have mentioned accuracy mate, that doesnt matter to plod. you should have went down the hearing protection route then they more or less have to give it to you as it becomes a health and safety issue.

Seconded, don't give reasons just ask. I don't think it matters whether on 1 line or 2. Just make it clear what you are applying for. The cert will clearly state how many guns, what type, and the number of mods allowed
