lewis2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hi all got my feo visit tomorrow ( Bridgend ) i am a current sgc holder and i have applied for a grant of FAC for a 17 hmr for dispatching of long range rabbit, land already been cleared for a larger calibre etc if i am seccessful any idea how long will take to recieve ticket from past experience? Will the FEO be able to tell me if id be successful or not As at my local store got a new CZ 455 Varmint Thumbhole and i want it lol as if that was the case and all went well id go and put a deposit onit after the interview. Ive already got Nikko stirling Nighteater Platinums 10-50x60 to sit on top Thanks Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Officially they can't tell you if you've been successful as it is down to their superiors to make the final decison, but they normally give you the unofficial nod, which is the same thing. My SGC arrived 3 weeks to the day after the visit, but it's been 6 weeks since my FAC visit and still no cert. (Metropolitan Police) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiffy Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) hi lewis, i have the same firearms department as you (bridgend police) my exerience was for ashotgun certificate not a firearms certificate but i waited around 4 weeks to get a call making the appointment for the following week, the feo that came to me was great. he couldnt say yes or no as he wanted to speak to my counter signaturie, which he did later that night and said wanted to hear from my doctor but he was reccomending i get a certificate. just over a week ago which was two weeks to the day after my visit my certificate arrived..
