Congratulations to Grampian division of Police Scotland , variation in a tad over two weeks and everything spot on ! Magic !

Yes they're doing a great job these days. Aberdeen turned around my last two variations (July & Sept) in 10 days door to door (and second class post took 3 days of that!).

So my now about six weeks (and still waiting) for an FAC air rifle to be added isn't much to be shout about.Gee go figure.

Almost a month here & no news of anything happening...hence the official complaint the other week!

The daft thing is I can think of two more very valid complaints about the lack of an efficient service & not using Home Office guidance: one to do with Edinburgh & the other Glasgow

Good turn around time (10 days) from Aberdeen but left off one rifle and the ammunition for another rifle from my FAC.

Hampshire variation.
FAO visit 10 days after application.
Licence back 12 WEEKS after application.

Gets worse.... I had a problem with rifle I collected on this variation and returned it. For replacement rifle I need another variation. Contacted Hampshire police 6-8 weeks which will probably actually be 12 weeks. For exactly the same slot/variation they completed a few weeks before.
Been told at my club Surrey are doing theirs with a week and West Sussex less than a week.

What can be done about Hampshire??

Yup still waiting.

Lincolnshire are on target to hit 3 months for a 1:1 variation and the same for my application for some additional slots....

Met took 9 days for my variation including 2 days in the post.
