remmy1100 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 hi all im considering applying for a second .22 lr as my licence is up for renewal but have read a few posts about northumbria not liking duplicate calibres and dont see dedicated nv as good reason ,i currently have a bolt action and was looking to get a semi auto for quick second shot as often have multiple rabbits that are lost due too bolt cycling also looking to fit with the photon so just for night use.ayone in northumbria have duplicate .22 lr.

saddler Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Mate has duplicate 22-250 (or did for a while) Know of a couple of others I had a few duplicate calibers with them (.22, 30-06) BUT I also know of an RFD that had a WW2 .303 & a WW1 .303....& wanted a Boer War .303 (on his own FAC....he already had it on his RFD books) SEVERAL WEEKS PASS.....the answer is given: you can have a tthird .303 but you cannot have any ammunition for it...!!!

drut Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I have 2 x .22's with Northumbria:a bolt + a semi.When I put in in for a 2nd for NV use they queried by phone but were happy that I wanted a semi as well as a bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I have had 2 semi 22LRs a few years ago, one with NV, one with a scope, no issues. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 It should not be an issue if you have "good reason" ... 22lr they seem to be less fussy, there are some on here that have about 1/2 a dozen. I have duplicate 22.250 one set up solely for night vision and the other,,, well I cant possibly use that in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongo321 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Cheshire area is the same as most areas about duplicate calibers , 22lr duplicates ok to a point ! , but other calibers your very lucky to get duplicates of them , good reason or not . Im happy with what i am allowed . My FEO on a recent visit made comment that he was surprised that the FLO had allowed duplicates in all of my calibers , So it appears not to be the norm .

Bewsher500 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Then they need to be edumacated! What you are allowed is clearly dictated by the Home Office NOT the FEO I lived in Northumberland now North of the wall At any one point I have had 3x .270 all bolt action, 4 x .22lr (semi, 2x long barrel BA, short barrel BA in addition to HMR, WMR and .17M2 rimfire), 2x.222 (BA and single shot) , 2x .30cal both bolt action including calibres that could be deemed at overlapping in .243 Good reason is good reason Action style Night vision Change of duty (close quarters woods, long range moorland) Change of loads pigs and deer, fox and deer etc etc you need to work on your reasons Edited October 16, 2015 by Bewsher500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
