Well, I finally got the application out about two weeks ago and the Firearms Officer is coming round next Thursday.

But... I think I've made a mistake on the form. FO didnt mention it on the phone.

My last slot said "Black power rifle"...

I'm fairly sure I should have put "Muzzle loading rifle".... :oops:

At least I haven't had to wait long for the first contact.

I wouldn't worry about it, when the feo comes round they go through the application and can make changes, mine asked if I thought my ammo limits were enough then let me up my solid slug :)

I corrected mine during the interview as well as I had forgotten to add moderators

I should have paid more attention. I thought I was applying to adopt an orphan. Instead, I got these lousy guns...

One thing I would say is apply for a shotgun certificate at the same time, only costs you £10 more.

Be thank flu for small mercies whatever you ask for tends to be different to what you get , I asked for .36 muzzle loading pistol and got a .32 muzzle loading rifle and when I did a one for one to change from a 390wmag to another rifle they left the 300 win mag ammo on ! On club ticket I asked
For .44 a 357 and a 22. Got a 38 , a 357 a 44 and three 22 ! Go figure !

Well, tonight... just had my first visit from the FEO.

I felt extremely rushed... well, he was an hour and a half late so probably wanted to get home.

He has left a letter which I will have to give to the doctor to get a report sent to him.
Probably going to cost me around £100 knowing my doctors surgery.

He says once he has this report he will contact me for a further visit.

Not having a cabinet yet caused a raised eyebrow, but I then explained that the firearms department had mentioned that it was not compulsory to purchase a cabinet before applying and to discuss this with the FEO.

Anyway, we discussed my taking of anti depressants and he took a quick look at where I thought my cabinet might go and he quickly exited.

Hopefully there will be a next visit a that will go a lot better.
