LR Chris Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Well done West Yorkshire FLD Variation form submitted Sunday at the Northern Shooting show stand, 7th May. Got a phone call on Monday saying post my FAC in & it would be granted 8th May, I still dunno why they didn't take it Sunday... Licence received back in todays post :-) 15th May, but processed & signed off 9th May. So Royal Mail took 6 days to deliver it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a variation to Northumbria on a Monday, it was on the doormat again on the Thursday We are very lucky to get such quick turnarounds, I can't imagine what it would be like to wait 6 months or longer which it seems some people have to wait, I would probably have changed my mind on the caliber before I got it.

Ahhh...so it wasn't sitting in the departments' out-tray after all, ...waiting until they had enough certificates to make the journey to a post office worthwhile, or have to pay Royal Mail to have them collected only when there's enough of them processed to make the collection cost-effective, perhaps? - just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR Chris Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Well thats annoying when i called them they told me they were not doing them at the show and the advert was a misprint!! WY weren't doing variations at the show. I asked why NY were & WY wasn't.... No answer but she said she would take it in for me if I completed it there & then :-) btw the stall was advertised as "NY & Durham" no mention of WY... I had to ask if they were there... It was dissappointing that NY can do variations on the day but other forces won't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCetrizine Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'm at 4 weeks for a simple 1 for 1 here in Lincolnshire. Thankfully, I've heard that G4S who currently "run" our licencing are in the process of being kicked out for being useless and it will return to police staff who used to be quite good.

chaz Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I had authority to purchase a .22 FAC air rifle and .22 moderator. As it turned out the gun i found and wanted was in .25 calibre. I left a deposit after taking a long drive to get to the sellers location to view the gun. A very nice honest straight talking man. I then updated the seller a few days later that my variation from .22 fac air to .25 fac air would take around 2 weeks max. I explained the situation to West Mercia Police Firearms Department as regards the deposit, and pointed out that i already had fac air with mod on my ticket, and just needed a basic variation change from .22 to .25. I was told that if i mark it as urgent i should receive it within 2 weeks maximum. Happy days!.... I finally received it back after over 4 months!! I chased them numerous times, only to be fobbed off. Ok they're very busy, and 1 man down. But if they knew that, why tell me 2 weeks!! A totally Shi'ite service. And from hearing other similar stories in my local RFD, they are still just as bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacknsilver Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I'm 3+ months in on a .223 variation. Been told it won't not be long. It can't come soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaedra1106uk Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Well Durham excelled themselves this week Posted off Tuesday, told me they hadn't got it Thursday (even though it was signed for) and I got it back today!. Well done, well apart from a few mistakes........................ I'd asked for three 1 for 1 variations, two for a rifle and moderator I sold and one for for an unused slot for a 22 LBP. They took off the rifle & moderator, left the LBP on and gave me the three variations I'd asked for anyway!. I'd also sold another moderator and they haven't taken that off!. They added a club I shoot with (as I asked) but also added one I'm no longer a member of and it had never been listed on my FAC previously!!.

Grum87 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'old chap weeks or so into waiting for a pair of 1 for 1's coming back for a 7.62x54r and a muzzle loading revolver. Last variation for 338lapewpew took 12 weeks, had turn arounds of 6 days before that, and 6 MONTHS(!!) before that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
