Excellent, that was what I wanted to hear! I thought it was a bit odd...
My FAC is going to be hand delivered on Tuesday, so I haven't seen yet, but I know everything was granted and I should have 2 slots for 7.62/.308 and hopefully without any reference to cartridge length! Yes, consider my ammo allowance already doubled.
Thanks for the info!
Cheers,
Craig.

I recognise those safes.... I post as warpig on the Umarex Boys Club Forum, you were the one who directed me here. Thanks again BTW!
I've already hand written it, but thanks for the offer. It will be in the post first thing Monday morning and then comes the 10 week long wait with Northamptonshire constabulary...
Weren't you building an indoor range in your basement?
Hi , sorry for not posting earlier, not been on any forums much lately.
I thought I'd better join here as I kept telling people to visit tongueout
Indoor range is finished but only for airsoft or air pistols at 6yards max
No worries! .223 would be OK for your indoor range wouldn't it...
Yes it's being hand delivered tomorrow by my FEO, he just wants to check I've bolted my internal safe to the external one and then I'm good to go. It only took 17 weeks from joining my local club to getting my FAC, that's quite impressive if you ask me.
I just need to fill that 10 rifle gun cabinet now... :shakeshout:

The only oddity I've just noticed is my ammo buy/hold list doesn't mention 5.56mm just .223, although the firearms list does. Is this normal? It looks like I can't buy 5.56mm ammo to me.
Well done Craig, does that mean you'll be out spending money and have new toys to play with soon :goodjob:

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Just to add to my previous question above about 5.56mm ammo on my FAC, can you send in for a variation where you substitute a moderator for a rifle at zero cost or is a variation just for swapping one rifle for another?

Can anyone enlighten me please?

My FEO (Cambs) told me by putting .308 / 7.62 it implied 7.62 x 51.
If I want a 7.62x39 or 7.62x54, he said that would be a variation.
Thanks for the replies. I guess the issue of the default 7,62 case size will have to go to my FEO, although when he came around for the home visit we talked about a Mosin Nagant, which clearly isn't NATO, so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say.
As I have to speak with him about that and my missing 5.56mm ammo listing, I'll ask about moderator to rifle variations. We may as well have an official response on it...
