Raja Clavata Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 So, I put my FAC in to add deer on the .243 and also a variation for a .308 to cover large deer and wild boar in the UK and abroad. Just checked my account and the £26 variation fee has been cashed - does this mean they approved the .308 or that the fee is applicable to change the .243 conditions? Thanks in advance.

garyb Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 They cash the cheque first, then deal with the paperwork... You will get a refund if it's refused AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 You should only be charged if the number of firearms (incuding moderators) is increased. If you sell a gun and swap it that's free, as is a change of conditions for the firearms you already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon88 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 A change in condition is classed as a variation. The only time you dont need to pay is with a one-for-one variation. Ie. you sell a rifle and get the slot opened up for the same type of rifle. Anything else is £26 please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in my area it isnt a change in condition is free the £26 is only applicable if you are increasing the number of slots on your fac.

Raja Clavata Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Umm I wasn't charged when the mentoring condition was removed from the inital FAC grant so wasn't really expecting to be charged for adding the deer conditions.

al4x Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) nor in Herts AFAIK, only if you want to aquire a new firearm rather than any simple wording changes. Now they're printed on toiley paper with a scanned photo everything seems to happen pretty fast Edited September 9, 2010 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO fee to change your condition, only for the variation/additional firearm/slot. If anyone is charged a fee for a wording change then it is wrong, this is not a regional thing and ALL regions should act the same, if people have been charged for straightforward wording alterations or FAC being Opened etc then they should not have been, go and ask for your money back!

CharlieT Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Fees are set by the Home Office nationally, not by individual forces. Changes to conditions are FOC. Phone your firearms dept and demand a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Hi Raja, when I had my variation changed one for one when I got my deer rifle of course there was no charge but deer and fox plus the ammo was added for no extra. You have applied for another slot, thats what you have been charged for, but of course it doesnt mean you will automatically get it cos they have the money.They have to make sure they are going to get their money before the civvies start typin.

Looks like ive been had then... Obviously I don't know your circumstances or quite what happened, there are a couple of people at Kidlington who actually know what they are doing, but they have also had MANY Temps over the years. If you sent a cheque for a wording change it would probably have been automatically banked. Sounds like they may owe you £26! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
