Ask for as many as you want. My first FAC I asked for 8 and got 7, all in a wide range of calibres. 1 year later and a couple of variations I now have 12 on my ticket.zzr1100 wrote:wel figuring that the worst they can say is no .,.. ive added .303 rifle and changed the .22 ammo to 1000 buy and 1200 hold !

Hypothetical question ... I've asked for .308/7.62 on my application .. If it comes back saying exactly that ... Does that mean I could get 7.62x54r or 7.62x39 or does it have to be 7.62x51 only ??

no it'll almost certainly be 7.62x51 or .308 only.. you could add a few slotszzr1100 wrote:Hypothetical question ... I've asked for .308/7.62 on my application .. If it comes back saying exactly that ... Does that mean I could get 7.62x54r or 7.62x39 or does it have to be 7.62x51 only ??

My 7.62 FAC slots don't distinguish between x54, x51 or x 39 so I've always presumed that I could buy an SP AK or Nagant if I wanted. 7.62 is a 7.62 at the end of the day.....
Hampshire were OK with me buying a .308 chambered L1A1 using a spare 7.62 slot.
Cheers and good luck.

I have 2 slots on my FAC for 7.62/.308 and originally when I applied I thought I could buy an AK (7.62mmx39) or a Mosin Nagant (7.62mmx54), but when I double checked with the Northants licensing office this was the answer I received:

Good luck with your application!Where your FAC has authorisations stating ".308/7.62mm" this refers solely to 7.62mmx51 NATO as this is equivalent to .308 Winchester. 7.62mmx54R or 7.62mmx39 would have to be stated explicitly on your certificate for you to acquire a rifle in these calibres as neither is equivalent to .308 Winchester
Cheers,
Craig.

Presumably though, if the slot is just for 7.62 and not 7.62/.308 you'd be OK for the AK or Nagant?

Hi Paul,
That makes sense based on the reply I received, but I don't know for certain. It would be interesting if someone put this to an FEO or their licensing office. I plan to put in a variation so I can buy a Mosin Nagant, but it probably won't be for a few months.
Cheers,
Craig.
