Not looking to start an argument, but by country do you mean Wales, England and Wales or the whole of the UK? Northern Constabulary covers an area about 3x the size of Dyfed-Powys. PSNI and Strathclyde both cover areas larger than Dyfed-Powys as well. ;)

I got home to some good news today.. my FAC has arrived! FINALLY!

Got everything I wanted, they even changed one of my slots after my visit at my request! (took off the 9mm rifle for a .223 straight pull)

So I have on my spangly new FAC:

2 x .22 rifles
1 x Shotgun
1 x .357/.38 Muzzle loading revolver
1 x .22 lbp
1 x .223/5.56 rifle

YAY!
