A few FAC questions.

#1 Post by CDM5 »

Hi all,

I'm in the process of getting my FAC. Had the FEO round last week and will hopefully have it in a couple of weeks (put my application in a few months ago) he's just checking some land I have whether it's safe to shoot .22 and shotgun. I'm a member of a club too.

Not decided on what rifle to get first as I'm on a limited budget.

Applied for x2 .22, .38/.357, .223/5.56, .308/7.62 and an FAC shotgun. And from what the FEO said I should have them all granted. Does he have the final say?

Thinking of a single shot target .22 and a semi .22 to start with?
Maybe a 10/22 and an Anschutz 64/54?

Thanks :good:

Very good news, now get that picture posted! Wait a few months and when you can document you need a greater ammunition holding bung a variation in, it is free of charge for ammunition variations.

I waited 2 weeks before changing my ammunition holding as an RFD, it is fair to say the SFEO went quiet when I proposed my new holding however he said yes which is the important part.

That's a quick turnaround but a bit tight on the ammo, I asked for 2000/2500 and got it, the only ammo they knocked down was 12g slug, I asked for 250/300 and they gave me 200/300 which is a ballache as its normally cheaper to buy it in cases of 250.
