Variation Times ?

[Sandyb]

Just had one last week from Derbyshire, applied on Sunday night arrived back the following (last) Saturday.Brilliant service.

Depends what your asking for as a variation I suppose?

 

[Teddyj]

4 weeks since posted, coming to check the land is suitable for my variation next week, so progress is being made Gloucetser

 

[Everlong]

Suffolk turned my recent one for one variation around in a little over a week. Applied online, dropped of the FAC the Wednesday before Easter had it back the following Friday which considering the 4 day weekend was outstanding.

 

[RETIC80]

Less than 3 weeks for a one for one in North Wales

West mercia applied 1/1 from 223 to 22lr semi on mid January and still waiting

 

[Sandyb]

Beds Herts and Cambs..

I put in for a second .223 for target shooting and submitted my variation on-line:

Applied on-line on 17th December.
Video interview for same calibre +1 rifle on 27th December.
FAC with grant / variation arrived through my door on 11th January.

I am delighted to say the least..

In addition to the above, I put in for two .30 calibre target rifles on 2nd April. I had a phone call and video interview on the 17th April.. All approved, now just awaiting the envelope on the doorstep.. in reality I was going to wait for my renewal in December, but the immediate availability of a Barrett MRAD changed that..

Last one was just over an hour, previous was less than 24.

 

[Grannysmith]

Avon and somt are quoting 8 to 12 weeks to exchange a moderator 1 off 1 on

While you wait

 

[oldhamstocks]

Police Scotland 3 weeks since submitting and no word, they have been fantastic over the last couple of years, so I wonder if the stresses on staffing caused by the controversial April 1st Hate crime law is impacting the department?

 

[Martin2]

Hampshire have just turned a variation around for me in 7 days

 

[Johno2486]

Currently 4 weeks in, awaiting variation, had 1 call from FAO to say they had backlog & would get to it as soon as they could, call was 3 weeks ago, heard nothing since - Fife.

 

[Stevie/P]

they had backlog & would get to it as soon as they could,

Well that’s open to interpretation!
I’m not in your area but my last one was a year.
I’m afraid you’ll have to be patient hopefully sooner rather than later.

 

[Teddyj]

Mine come through other day. Under 4 weeks
From Gloucester

 

[VIGILAIRE]

Lincolnshire are still on top of their game, 2 additional calibres and a grant of an explosives/black powder licence. It was all waiting for me when I returned from a trip to Europe so less than 2 weeks. More than happy.

Complain - their website says to allow 8 weeks.

It may not get done any faster, but it's completely fair to ask why they're quoting a time at all if it's not realistic. The West Mercia PCC has made a big deal about investment in the licencing dept. and yet their performance is worsening.

 

[margun]

10 days for a 1-4-1 in Kent (November 2023).

I'll get an email going later today to them

 

[Mac78]

5 days for an additional calibre. Tayside - Police Scotland.

All approved, now just awaiting the envelope on the doorstep.. in reality I was going to wait for my renewal in December, but the immediate availability of a Barrett MRAD changed that..

The long awaited envelope finally arrived yesterday, dated 7 days after the video interview.. But now finally here..
Now to start reloading for 300 PRC and order my 300 Norma barrel.
