Variation times for D&C

[AndyTheSilent]

Has anyone posted a 1-4-1 variation in with D&C recently and how long did it take to come back?
I posted mine 2.5 weeks ago and haven't had anything back. I appreciate they are busy so don't want to contact them and waste their time but equally my last variation to them went missing after delivery and I don't want that to happen either as I couldn't buy ammunition for nearly 2 months.

My last variation for a FAC air rifle took about a month.

I've put in a variation too that was delivered on the 17th. When I was speaking to the people at Ian Hodge they said that others have had their variation sorted in around two weeks, so if that's right you should be getting a phonecall pretty soon if you haven't already?

Sent mine in on 22nd February and told at least 8 weeks that a 141 as well it’s a back door way of putting gun shops out of business worse thing is where paying for this and this is Cumbria force

I did multiple varis online Sunday before last,
Had a call from my FEO the following Friday and posted my ticket back plod this Wednesday so will let you know when my ticket is returned?
I’m guessing 4-5 weeks in total?
Used to take a week !!

Not D&C butmy variation(and not 1 for 1) took less than a week. Great service from Merseyside……

Nothing back yet. I sent am email asking them to confirm receipt of my variation and didn't get a reply. I called on Friday and after going through a number of menu options the recorded message said variations are currently taking 4-8 weeks so I hung up as I'm not at the 8 week mark yet.

I'll get the idea of picking up my new rifle this weekend out of my head then!

Can’t believe it they must read this forum got a call today and should get it in about 10 days time

Got mine back earlier this week. Strangely I've got a new FAC number and the covering letter mentioned my 'lost' certificate. New certificate was correct and had a new slot for the moderator I requested so not sure what the covering letter was about

Got mine back as well about 7 weeks I wonder if the service will improve when the fees go up !

This seems a bit odd since they could surely have just printed a new certificate with the old number? Whatever though, at least you're all sorted. That must have taken around sevenish weeks to get everything back?

I got my newly varied FAC back on Friday just gone, so I was waiting the full eight weeks but it's done now and I got my new rifle yesterday!

New rifle?
I hope by that you mean additional rifle?

Currently additional! The cabinet is getting a bit cramped now and there is a .308 yet to be bought. I may have to kick the airgun out?
