Salop Matt Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Has anyone in the west mercia area done a varition or grant lately for FAC ? how long did yours take ? If so when did you do it and how long did it take ? Iv got a shooting oppertunity next week and I have a FAC AIR rifle on hold for me and wanted to take that as apposed to my rimmies . I also asked for open ticket ! My FLO visited me last week on monday and said the office lot and hindlip police HQ would have it for wednesday for there action ! Ive seen a few folk have got a variation turned round in a fortnight and I a desperatly hoping for the same. Getting a variation is more exiciting than christmas ! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowz Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 are you sure he said it would be at Hindlip Hall as the firearms Department moved to Malvern police station a while back and thats the address for the west Mercia firearms department. mine went in a few weeks ago for open ticket and variation still no reply back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 My son must hold the record with West Mercia………..12 months. Constantly phoning and asking where the heck it was until one day @ 12 months later they finally admitted....... ........... that they had lost it. :blink: G.M.
