ollie Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Went to McKerr's in lurgan earlier with my dad, turned out to be an expensive afternoon, ended up buying 2 shotguns and a cabinet A webley and scott 912 30", practically new for £600. And some old lanber to get my dads cert through, for 60 quid I couldn't fault it now to get the certificates off, and wait a long, long time Good luck mate . I don't think McCloys will recognise when I go back to pick up my rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shot shot Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 ok, just got the inside scoop from Lisnaharragh. Apparently they're understaffed, and have been for some time now. My application, 4/5 months minimum. They're still sorting out stuff that's been backlogged since february I guess this is a case of "fire and forget" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still sorting out stuff that's been backlogged since february I guess this is a case of "fire and forget" This is the story I got; however, it seems that they have been stuck in February for the past 2 months. The last girl I was talking to told me that they can't do anymore than 2 applications a day. My FAC has been away more than 4 months now and to be honest it has got to the point were I am totally scundered with the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Had my FEO on the phone tonight (they have already checked the cabinet), asked me a few questions and said she will send the enquiry form back to Lisnasharragh tomorrow, so hopefully with a bit of luck I should have it back within a month or so. As always the FEO has been fantastic throughout this long drawn process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
