Just arrived in the post this morningPut in for a variation 10 days ago had a call from the FEO on Wednesday. So far so good
I know they’re quick but 7 hours. BlimeyRecently did my renewal, landed on WM doorstep on 13.05 and back with me on 20.05
Blisteringly quick service!! Thank you WM.
Currently going through a variation with Gwent. 9 weeks until FEO called to say all ok, that was 2 weeks ago but still no new cert. I asked to have my original returned after 8 weeks so as I could stock up whilst waiting. This was all done via the new online system but I've noticed recently that variations have been removed from the online service, only first grants/renewals and disposal are available now.They seem to have put in a lot of effort to turn things around. I was very impressed with a 6 day turnaround. Gwent is the only comparison I have and they are taking around 6 weeks so I hear. Nice to have something work out well for a change
As stated on another thread, put in for a variation at the end of april , told it was all passed and signed of on the 11th may, and many many phone calls and emails later nowt still waiting, going to ask for my ticket back now without the variation, if no ticket in your possession when your out only a photo copy is that legal to be out with your firearms, ???????
I asked the exact same question of gwent police and was told that I was ok to carry on shooting. But... thats all well and good until I get stopped in the car in another force area on a Sunday and they decide to seize my guns until they can confirm on Monday morning. I wasn't prepared to take a chance. Besides, probably ok with stalking but I'm a target shooter and don't have a safe big enough for 3 months worth of ammo to keep me going.As stated on another thread, put in for a variation at the end of april , told it was all passed and signed of on the 11th may, and many many phone calls and emails later nowt still waiting, going to ask for my ticket back now without the variation, if no ticket in your possession when your out only a photo copy is that legal to be out with your firearms, ???????
