Zetter Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Last variation erlier this year was the same as Kory about 60 days all told. I have just put in for another to get a .204 and was told about two months although 4 and a half weeks would be nice but havent heard from the FEO yet and its been three weeks so may be looking a bit longer.

lloydi73 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Put in for a .22Lr, took about 4 weeks, but I did pester and chase..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang bang birdy Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Had a call today from firearms officer. Quick chat on the phone, FAC should be back with me next week or so. Happy days, 243 shopping here we come๐ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I have been waiting since December for shotgun certificate renewal, have been sent a incorrect temp very and a letter saying that it may not include all my guns (only have two). It appears that if you chase it they may do them but this is totally unfair to those that wait. No other organisation would be allowed to get away with the service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang bang birdy Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 My mate who lives round the corner has been waiting for over a year for FAC and SGC renewal. It seems to me that you have to push it these day or your lift twiddling your thumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang bang birdy Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Not sure I know he has a temp cert at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Nice one! 5 weeks and counting for my variation at the moment so fingers cross I will get a call soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_ox Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Anyone have an idea of what sort of time frame a co-term grant takes with TVP at the moment? I did hear they're processing variations and one for ones as priority currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlewis Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Well a variation in Hampshire took 4 calendar months, they received it on 19th April and emailed on 18th August to say its been processed and send my FAC in (sent duplicate) and they will post new FAC out.

Puggers Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I know this won't help but I put mine into South Yorkshire a couple of weeks back and it arrived on the mat 6 working days later. One of the rifles I already held was shown incorrectly so I popped it back in the post and it turned up corrected this morning. ย A grand total of 9 working days! I couldn't believe it, I was properly impressed. ย I'm not alone as others are turned round normally within a fortnight. ย Renewals can drag a bit close to the line and first applications I've heard of can take 8 months, but variations are very impressive so I'm sorry to hear others are struggling and need to chase.

Zetter Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 As a final update on mine I got my FAC back today and I put it in on 08/07/16 so overall just over two months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertyandlivelihood Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I was told my Renewal had gone through on the system so no temp certificate being issued, this was 6 weeks ago and still not received the new cert.
