Why are they taking so long again? They had sped up alot for a good while there but seem to be slipping again. I vaguely remember someone saying a couple of years ago, that the reason they sped up, was in order to justify a price increase, but that it was not sustainable long term. Perhaps they went back to business as usual once they knew the price increase wasn't going to happen. Or perhaps they just couldn't sustain the push that sped things up.

Bangon Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I put in a variation in the start of July for swapping a 17hmr for a 17 hornet got it back in 8 working days. I think it has to do with your FEO, My last variation from a .222 to a .22-250 with land check took six days if i remember rightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyD Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Dancake, perhaps they don't realise that is a smoothbore. I recently had a query from the Garda's firearm branch as to whether my mossberg 500 pump action was single or doubled barreled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you get it on for fox? Qurious as I may apply for a larger 17 for vermin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will contact my feo to find out what the score is. Seems as if they just want a play rather than testing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a .22lr also for short range vermin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastiebap Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 lol what I meant was nothing was said about smoothbore shooting by the FEB. They didn't ask me about smoothbore disciplines within my club. What will happen is that your FEO will take the firearm for testing, the tester will look at them like they have got two heads and say that it is pointless to test it. They also wont be too chuffed that their time has been wasted on a pointless excercise. FEB see handgun and don't look any further as to WHAT it is, they immediatley issue the request for ballistic testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
