Salop Matt Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Saturday I posted a variation to add FAC AIR (.22) and mod plus to open my certificate. (West Mercia) I did it next day signed for so it will of got there today. Am curious as to how long this might take to get it back with my variation and if i will need another visit from my FLO ? Typically is a variation any quicker than a grant ? I already have HMR 22lr ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRS Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 i think it depends on the police force you are dealing with and what workload they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 My force told me that a variation takes less time but the last one took longer than the original grant - not a good time of year for holidays - pick a number (and good luck!)

Colster Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 It's all down to workload, my variation took longer than my grant but my FLO said that post-Cumbria they were inundated with variations. Whether they visit for a variation is down to your force. I had a visit but I was adding bigger rifles, you may not get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 variation. I get mine in about 3-4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 posted my last variation on a Friday FEO called on Monday Visited on Tuesday and had it back on the next Thursday with Herts and that was for 1st centrefire. In your case it should be very simple for the gun as you've already got more powerful weapons so there shouldn't be a need for a visit but the Open bit may slow it down. As said depends on workload and if you've an FEO like Herts where they work out if they sort them quickly they don't get a backload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Variation for my hmr and opening my license was quick, I think 6 days with the Gloucester constabulary, getting 243 was much longer even though I have my DSC1 but I did have to get a land check for the calibre as well and it was for deer and fox. I'm quessing it really depends on your force and what you ask for but the good news is that your with west mercia. I border their county and have often thought of moving house as by all accounts they are quick and understanding. Good luck with it and I'm sure it will be quicker than a grant.
