gdadphil Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hi All I have just had a useful exchange of emails with the Firearms Team. The important information gained is that there is a lag of "10 to 12 weeks at present in processing applications" So don't delay if your renewal is due. best Gdadphil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 And as we all know, if the Police Firearms Licensing Team say 10 to 12 weeks they actually mean at least double that figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr gen Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 sorry my reply does not involve the Metropolitan Police but, Tightchoke your not far off the mark. My renewal went in on 1st of March, cheque cashed 6th March. A letter of extension and two expired permit possess, latest one runs out 27/01/20. phone call last week to Dyfed-Powys firearms regards purchase of cartridges for the rest of this season resulted in a no. I can not buy cartridges, borrow cartridges or get someone who is entitled to buy cartridges to get me some. I am entitled to have the ones I already had before my SGC ran out. This has left me a little annoyed as the doctors cheque for £50 was cashed before my SGC ran out as of 01/05/19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
