Also Kent, I sold a rifle on the 27th of last month and put in for a one for one on the monday as yet ive heard nothing, apart from tales of delays.
Compare this to my renewal in Feb, that was done and dusted in 2 weeks from submission of forms to recieving my ticket back.
I would like it back now as I have another rifle waiting to be picked up and tried.

I was told that It may have to go out for enquiry but possibly not as I was requesting a smaller calibre, that seems to be the case. I would give them a polite call to progress the variation and find out what is happening

The only thing with mine was, he said that I would need mentoring for 4 months for deer,( I'd put in for a .223 with Muntjac and CWD on it)I pointed out that I had already owned a .223 and a .243 ,and was conditioned for deer anyway, "oh, yes,so you are,no problem then".He was waffling on about DSC1 ,before I managed to stop him!! :lol:

One for one (357 to 44) in Tayside took 24hrs last time and I was phoned and given the choice of post it out or collection.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
