FEO Visit

#1 Post by Mike357 »

Put in a 1 for 1 variation getting rid of my Enfield No4 and looking to acquire a Martini Action BSA 22. Get a phonecall asking for a visit.

FEO arrived, stood in the kitchen asked why I wanted it, corrected the mistakes I made on the form (was in a rush), never went near the gun room. Bish bash bosh done in under 5 mins.

Gave him a copy of last years Phoenix Handbook for the Office and away he goes. Should be just over two weeks from start to finish which isn't bad. Did my 357 to 44 in 25hrs last time!

:good: :good:

I have mine visiting for my SGC grant next week, hopefully it is as quick and painless as yours, from some of the horror stories you read about people waiting months for things, its nice when things all happen nice and promptly. :goodjob:

I didn't think they would for a 1 for 1 but they did.
