Bryn Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi all After two months i have today had the call to arrange an inspection visit at my home. Just wondering what will i be asked? It is the same officer who visited when i renewed shotgun license, seemed a likeable bloke. I have applied for a 22 and a 223 with moderators, 1000 rounds Visit taking place next Friday so hope it goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 1000 rounds is a lot for .223. It's not a problem though, they'll just offer you less if they don't like it. For .22 rimfire that should be ok. I had the same guy do my FAC visit and SGC visit, so I'd imagine it will be the same for you. Good luck with it, the FAC visit was no harder than the SGC visit for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 how times change, when i first got my sgc, and fac, no such thing as a flo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caeser Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 good luck mate,hope all is well for you.just be your self and act responsible,dont rush any answers think them through. Sound advice. He's only trying to get to know what sort of person you really are. He'll ask all sorts of questions, of you and your partner.

Bryn Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well had visit today, went okay and said that my certificate would be granted but will not be OPEN. Also i will not be able to get the 223, reasons being that i will have to demonstate experience in the field with the 22 first i suppose this is fair enough. I was advised that i could write in if i wanted too and could demonstrate a good enough reason for having it. He did suggest that i could apply after 9 months for the 223. Still happy that i have been given the ok for the 22 & mod With regards to ammunition i can purchase 500 and hols 600. Now need to decide on the set up i want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I think that's fair, kind of. It seems harsh not to get the .223 but it is a pretty powerful gun. Get lots of rounds down your .22 (even if it's plinking, they're cheap enough). With your ammo count up you have the experience to push them with. Getting open seems unlikely on first application. I asked too and wasn't allowed so I'll ask again soon. I've been told 3 years, but that's ******** and I'm not waiting that long quietly! What's your budget for the .22? I'd say a bolt gun would be best if it's your only rimfire, and if you don't want to spend too much the 16" CZ American with a SAK on it is nice (I have one in HMR). My HMR was shooting one hole groups today at 50 yards, and I've done the same with a .22 version. They're accurate enough and cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
