Carman06 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just interested if anybody else in Lincolnshire has just received a FAC/SGC grant and how long it took or are still waiting? I submitted mine around 14 weeks ago at beginning of feb, had FEO visit after 11 weeks but nothing since. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffin Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 My shotgun cert took 3 months to renew a week overdue when it finally arrived. Advised my MP Stephen Phillips if you in his area advise also he is aware of issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carman06 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks for that. He is my MP also, live in Sleaford. I might drop him an email today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just phone them and ask. They will be fine and they will tell you exactly where they are with your grant. One thing I will tell you is. Grants are at the bottom of the workload pile everything else to do with current SGC/FAC holders takes priority. But like I said just give them a bell.

Carman06 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I have spoke to them and they said the report is back from the FEO and it's now sat in a pile waiting to be allocated to someone. No idea of timescale etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carman06 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Just an update guys for anyone else in Lincolnshire area. Been 16 weeks since application was submitted and 4 1/2 weeks since FEO visit but still nothing. I hate the wait but looks like that's the way it is.

Spoke to Firearms department today and they confirmed I have been granted a coterminous FAC and SGC and should be on the door mat by the end of the week. 17 weeks from application being receieved to today. Not the longest but also not the best. Just looking forward to getting my first rifle and shooting more regular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carman06 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Cheers guys. Got my first one lined up. Just hoping the cert arrives problem free. There has been issues lately. Don't know if I have got what I asked for but FEO didn't imply otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
