The survey is online
Apologies, you were entirely correct. I halved the first box and considerably shortened the second and it worked
C*^p survey!

I have read the comments with interest. BASC also got the survey yesterday. More on that next week. There is a survey for cert holders and another for RFDs. The surveys are part of a HMICFRS inspection of the firearms licensing system in England and Wales. There are other aspects to this including police force inspections and at a recent PCC/CC Herts police accountability meeting the CC said they were one of the forces being inspected.

Note that, as I have found out, if you haven't processed a grant, variation or renewal within the last two years it says "Thank You" and kicks you out with the words "You Have Now Completed The Survey".
If you follow the original link from a different browser you should be able to get through to another go at it. (And give you the email address again.)
Note: If you "save" the survey prior to completion as it allows for, its most likely the Home Office link sent to your email will go to the SPAM folder.

You can’t even fill it in - as it’s for the rest of the U.K. and not scotland….
You are limited to only 100 characters per box. It does not tell you this nor does it count the characters as you type them
The Historical Breechloading Small Arms Association and the British Shooting Sports Council are taking matters up with the organisation that instigated the survey.
That's interesting - which organisation was it? The replacement for ACPO, perhaps?
Edit: Sorry - should have paid more attention: looks like it's the Inspectorate of Constabularies.

The HMICFR page linked to from the BASC new page, is invalid.
There is a message on there saying:
"The access to the survey via this link is no longer active. A new link will be shared with you by your firearms organisation shortly. Please keep an eye on your inbox for this update."
Not sure how long that has been there?

Fortunately my renewal was this year but 100 words in the negative experience box was way too short!
Firearms Licensing Survey Update
Dear NRA Member,
Further to our email of November 24th informing you of HMICRS's survey.
Firstly we understand and share your frustration of the limitations of the survey. For those who have not yet completed the survey you may be aware that it is currently closed.
HMICFRS have been given feedback that the licensee survey can only be completed by licence holders in England & Wales who have attempted to apply, renew, or vary an FAC in the past 2 years, and that the dialogue boxes were restricted to 100 characters.
The survey is currently offline and we understand that a new link will be sent out. Once we receive it we will again share with you all. We are not in a position to know if any amendments will be made.
We do share your frustration but would kindly ask that any feedback or comments be directed to HMICFRS via email - HMICFRSsensitiveresearch@hmicfrs.gov.uk
With kind regards

This could do with sending on the the policing minster - if they cant even sort a survey out what hope is there for the "new legislation" they may want
