You will need to wait until 7th June ... an unobservant dealer may miss it but it could put you both at risk.
What happened to your old one? Did you retain it or did they ask for it during the visit? It is a flaw in te system - they take your old certificates and should really issue teh new one to be valid from that date through to 5 years from the expiry of the old one.

MoT's can run for 13 months....
However, there always seems to be more of a bloody minded ness when it comes to firearms

I take that to mean you still have the old one but without the authority to purchase. You can send it back to them, some FETs like to get the old ones back - but keep a copy for your records.
