njc110381 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 They come to see you!? How long have you had your FAC for? I got mine opened after a year with lots of references and well worded letters. Never got another visit though (but then I've been in this house for over a year and they haven't checked the cabinet yet)! Good luck. If your rimfire is open then you should be ok with a .223 hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thats pretty good, i have asked twice for an open now and been turned down, maybe due to the fact i keep going up in calibre a few months before the last thing i want is an open for this cal but not for that and so on so i will wait another 3 months, its not affected my shooting too much. the thing is i dont know what calibre to go for next.
