I presume that is after the slots have been filled?
On the permissions table all that is needed is calibre and type e.g rifle there is not reference to action.

That said, when I asked for my 300aac Blackout slots they said it wasn't on the NFLMS so couldn't put it on, I said just put 30 cal but they insisted they couldn't do that, instead they found the nearest thing which was "300 calibre" which I suppose means I could get anything in .300 including 300 Win Mag!. I spoke to Wayne at NorthWest Custom parts about it when I was ordering my Handi Rifle, he said Manchester have no problem putting it on tickets, maybe they are sensible and just put 30cal?.
We have had no problems having things added to the NFLMS which now includes the '22 CHRISTEL' and '7mm CHRISTEL' - our FEO said the only problem was things could not be added Friday afternoons as the person who does it only works a half day then :lol:

Well, very surprised this morning, put my variation request in by hand last Wednesday and got it back in the post today!.
Almost got it right this time, they removed the .223 rifle and mod but left the ammunition allowances on!.
They also stuck a note in saying that as from Dec 1st 2013 all future variations need to be submitted using FORM 202.
