moses Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 If you don't already have a shotgun cert, go co-terminus and save some money. ATB Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunny Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 The cheque needs to be made payable to the chief constable, by the way Must be different there then. For the Met it's "Metropolitan Police Authority". Doesn't mention the Chief Constable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) The £50.00 for a FAC is correct with a renewal fee of £40.00 every 5 years after that (At current prices). The payment should be made to whatever Police Authority you come under NOT the Chief Constable. There should have been a seperate price list enclosed with the application form, if there wasn't check with your local police issuing authority. Hope this helps.

hendersons Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 thanks for the advice chaps i have allready put in for a shot gun certificate which they are processing at the moment so not sure if i'm going to be too late to go coterminus. The lovely farmer whose land i shoot on has just bought another 400 acres and asked me if i would mind putting in for a fac for the new patch and get rid of the rabbits for him (good job he isn't a girl would have kissed him ). nick p.s would i really get a certificate if i made the cheque payable to babbyc and if i stuck an extra fiver on would you rush it through for me i seen a rifle thats shiny and is telling me to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 This is an awkward thing to answer as I am relatively new to owning a SGC and a FAC so the only thing that I can suggest is what I think most people would suggest. As I understand it you have applied for a SGC but you want to change your application from a SGC to a coterminous certificate for both SGC and FAC. If I am right and you have already put in for your SGC but it has not yet been issued then phone your FEO at the earliest possible instance and explain the situation and ask him if it would be possible to cancell your SGC application while you make a fresh application for a coterminous certificate. I'm sure that others will correct me if I am not giving the best advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiiithy Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I have a question relating to the subject discussed above. I'm looking to apply for my SGC in the coming weeks. I'd be interested in applying for the FAC so that I can get a rifle at a later date; But currently have no official permissions to support the FAC application. Would a coterminous application be a waste of time? Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiiithy Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thought so. Guess I'll just go for the SGC and stick with my springer until I feel the need and have the opportunity for a FAC. they wont grant you a fac for shooting over land without any land.

Gonk Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 smiiithy, if you join a rifle club you have good reason to be granted a FAC for use on "approved ranges". This takes time though - up to six months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiiithy Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thanks for the helpful reply. I don't have a genuine interest in joining a rifle club to be honest. I'm probably better off sticking with my springer for the moment, I don't actually have any gripes with it just something more powerful would be tempting.

stevethevanman Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) I simply google my area and then add firearms...so for me it is thames valley firearms, that will usualy bring your police firearms page. They should have costs and such, there you can also print of the forms yourself thats what I did for my last variation. P.S. in relation to smiiithy, they no longer see, range shooting as a good reason to posses expanding ammunition so you would have to variation again later to be able to get expanding ammunition for vermin and ground game, you also cant put range shooting, vermin and ground game on your FAC and just give a club as your authority becuase they would want to know where you can shoot the game aswell.
