sandersj89 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 It seems things are settling down a bit with the new nationwide computer system. Sent my FAC back in on Monday to Sussex police to get the wording ammended and requesting an open ticket for HMR and 243. It is now waiting for me at home, came in the post today. Not seen the wording myself yet so will have to see this evening if I have got what I wanted! But to turn it around in a day or two is encouraging compared to the long waites we used to have...

Ice Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Applied for SGC 2 weeks ago, called firearms dept yesturday as i had a day off, they informed me that they had sent relivant paperwork to local cop shop, and told me to go there and make an appointment with them, rather that waiting for them to call me. So did just that can cop i saw came around within 30min, he was dead impressed with cabinate, said it was the rolls roice of cabinates, "its a bratton sound 4/5 gun" he passed off the premises and said i should have the cert within a week or so!!!

SilverBore Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Staffordshire SGC application sent on 17th April, after 6 weeks of not hearing anything (no letter, nothing!) I phoned them to see what was going off, was told could be another 3-4 weeks. Still not heard a damn thing. Absolute pants. I guess if there was a problem they'd have at least told me by now surely??? Not that I anticipate anything.
