manthing Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 So, waiting on my renewal, had one 8 week extension letter had to phone up and ask for another on the day the first one ran out and got sent an 8 week sec7 instead which gives me authority to own and use the guns I already own, but doesn't say owt about buying other guns or selling the ones I have. And just when a nice little sxs has come up in the "expletive" town I live in. Talk about The Law of Sod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 You could offer the sxs seller a deposit - just till your renewal is completed. We are experiencing all sorts of delays and backlogs in many areas of society. Most people understand the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Just explain the situation to the seller, I’d be very surprised if they wouldn’t hold it after a deposit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted May 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Sorry chaps, in my ham fisted way that's what I meant, I'm not allowed to get any more. I'll see how the gun goes, don't have first dibs on it atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 As i said once before on a similar matter how comes they can find time to issue extensions and section 7s but cant sort the renewals out. Or am i missing something ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't checking references,Dr's notes or owt else. Oversimplified I know but you get the gist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest you can't give away a shotgun at the moment. Our local gunshop won't even take them in for free just to get them off your certificate because he says he has no room and nobody is buying.

And is it any wonder when our shooting organisations are doing their collective best to get it all shut down, led so ably by BASC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd really, as when I was in Greenfields in Salisbury on Thursday, there were several gaps on the shelves whereas they're usually full to the brim. A customer came in and asked to buy a cheap sxs, and the lady had to say they had no second hand sxs, only brand new starting from around £700. That was a bit of a shocker! I was also looking for guns around 4-7k, looking around second hand DT10 or 11, or maybe a guerini invictus, but nothing second hand and only new. Send some guns south please.

Jaymo Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 My renewal went in at the beginning of March for an end of May renewal. Just received my first 8 week extension which is a pain in the bottom as unable to put in for any variations, esp as there are two firearms on sale here that I wish to purchase.

A newcomer to shooting gets a certificate for five years from the date on which the FEO has completed all necessary checks. Why shouldn’t the same apply in the case of a renewal, provided the forms were submitted in good time? Have any of the shooting organisations ever campaigned for the back-dating policy to be changed?
