For an SGC, there is no requirement to have a safe installed... in theory. You don't have to own a shotgun to have an SGC, you could have it just to enable you to borrow one. But I guess the FEO was confident of OP's ability to install it properly so didn't feel the need to inspect it after install.

Cannot say how impressed I am with how quickly this all happened.
I have the cabinet installed and going shopping this weekend for a gun.

Your thread title is correct - a CERTIFICATE not as you later refer to licence.

Shoppin for A guns, surely that should read "guns"

I should have said certificate and apologise for that.
You are correct and I should have said guns, not singular

I forgot to mention that when the FAO visited, we agreed on the location for where the safe would be installed. I bought the safe from my local dealer and had to wait for it to arrive, then it was installed.
Photos were sent to the FAO to show the safe installed.
