Disposing of shotguns on my ticket that aren't mine (yet)

[Jon P]

Same here. Would have had them done same day but we didn't get keys until 4m30pm so it was about midnight by the time we finished and the bairn needed to go to bed. Van returned by 8am next morning, and cabinets fitted by 9.30 . Feo was more than happy with that too.

I have a slight advantage- friend buying my current house so can move out on the Saturday and we got no kids. Also gives me the advantage I can leave kennels in garden for a few days until I get chance to move them.

Good that you have hilighted this as it will probably be a more common occurance in the future with the delays in fac and sgc processing. It would definitely be worth agreeing a date by which ownership is automatically transferred if the guns aren't collected by a certain date, even with friends.

Crikey, am I the only one who had his cabinets fitted the day after moving?

As I said, I needed to wait on new cabinets to be delivered, otherwise it would have been within 24 hours.
I ended up with multiple matching cabinets instead of the mishmash of sizes / colours that we all have after adding one or 2 over the years.

Same day for me.

The guns were only in the car for about 5hrs.

Last time I moved house, the FEO came to inspect a few weeks later, and found my cabinets still lying on their backs on the living room floor among all my other baggage, with guns wrapped up in blankets inside (that's how I transported them).
He seemed happy enough with that
Life was simpler a quarter of a century ago!

Was your wife happy?
Stubbed toes all round.

And FEOs could get things done in a reasonable timeframe. Took mine over six months to manage to get to inspect my security after we moved five years ago.

Her guns were in that pile too, so she had no reason to complain.

Perhaps do that.

the actual answer.

most lawyers (perhaps fond of the sound of their own voice) will give you 20 mins chat on the phone. The penny will drop. You can both laugh it off.

How often do you move

 

[suburban bushwacker]

Yikes @spandit, after all the aggro you had with the "friend" who had let his cert expire, I'd of thought you'd have got yours in early.

Anyways, at least they are now out of your cabinet!

I didn't want to be the one to say it lol

Likewise, the shape of the boxroom was important to us, especially the length of the wall without the window on to ensure we could install the cabinets easily.

What I really wanted was a 3 story house where I could easily build a gunroom on the 3rd floor.

How long does it take to drill a few holes and screw the cabinet to the wall.

I was trying to give everyone a wee bit of respite, for my posting shite on here, but that just touched a nerve.

Warning: the following post may offend some readers - especially those with a vivid and real imagination.

Now laying in a hot bath (after a shocking morning on the rifle, and then feeding the birds - on an Estate that is so waterlogged; they can only grow rice!) giggling like a child.




That made me chuckle…
