hoggysreels Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 My current SGC is full. As in l've done quite a bit of chopping and changing of shotguns. It's now full and it hasn't anymore spaces to perform a shotgun transaction. It's possible l might have the chance to purchase another one this week. What is the process when this occurs? .. am l going to be snookered buying the shotgun this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggysreels Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Tried phoning them on both their phone numbers .. got two recorded messages! Frustrating because l could possibly have viewed a gun today. All l can do is try again tomorrow .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1964 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Can't you just get a friend to buy the gun, put on his certificate, then sell it to you when your clean one comes back ? A bit of a pain I admit, but better than losing a nice gun or a bargain. Edited July 28, 2015 by Patrick1964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Davyo we are in the same area ( i think Durham is in with the Cleveland force) where did you take your licence? They have a new office on the next estate from where I work so pass it everyday.Its in between peterlee and shotton Colliery (just google the add) it the next estate fron Bracken hill Business park.Things must be turning around as just heard a lad put in for 1st FAC, 17hmr,222,243, and got all 3 granted with no conditions(don't know if that's a good thing as no experience of any FAC calls) within 2 weeks.

kennym Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) kennym Cleveland is now on the Wynyard estate .. Thanks Mike when I spoke to them a while back I was told that that's just the postal address & the licences processed elsewhere, I was only asking because it seems Davyo actually went into the place they print them Edit Thornaby is the postal address Edited July 29, 2015 by kennym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 All enquiries post etc have to go to the Thornaby address they are adamant that things go via Thornaby and not Wynyard.. I sent an E-Mail to them when i got my 308 new and they sent message back could i send them a hard copy to Wynyard as they could not open my file as i use a mac....
