Once I have sold a rifle and notified the FEO within 7 days , how long do I have before I need to apply for a one for one variation or should it be done at the same time . Its just that I cant make my mind up on which calibre to apply for . I know I could just apply then change a slot but its all more paper work

You need to do it at the same time Dave or you will loose the spare slot and have to pay when you have decided....

You have the same 7 days, if you haven't asked for the 1 for 1 in that time then they assume you no longer want the slot.

Thanks for the replies guys , thought that would be the case but you never know someone may have a wrinkle for getting round it .

I've done it after the fact, 3 weeks later IIRC, probably just depends on how the FEO is feeling on the day :roll:

I've always requested a one for one before I sell the rifle!

So far, Grampian has not had a problem with doing it that way around.

Do they charge for the 1:1 if issued prior to you selling the existing rifle? I must admit it is a good ideas as it is always a faff if you want to upgrade.

No they've never charged, but I have wondered what would happen if I bought a new rifle before selling the old one?

when I did a one for one I phoned my FEO beforehand, it saved any hassle

I got a temporary permit for a month to enable me to buy two new rifles on a one for one variation before I sold the existing two.
This was with Hants. Constabulary. Very helpful, I thought. I would have been gutted had I missed the two new rifles.
