Well the FEO has just left. He seemed ok with it all. He started off by stating that 5 different calibre's was a lot of firearms, then we talked through the reasons for each and he seemed happy enough.

Then moved on to ammo and he said that the main issue was that it was a lot of ammo ( ) He knocked me down by 500 on .22 and 100 on .223/556. He then pointed out that I'd asked for a lot of slug, but I explained about some club trips and going down to shield and he agreed.

Checked the cabinets, asked about the age of my kids and gave some advise on responsible teaching when the time was right, then left.

So I've put in for:

.22 - 1500/1000
.223 - 300/200
.308 - 300/200
.357/.38 - 300/200
Slug - 200/150

We'll see how the ticket comes though.

What came through was.. both, listed separately! :shakeshout:

.38SP - 300/200
12 bore slug - 200/150
.308 - 300/200
.22 - 1500/1000
7.62mmx51 - 300/200
.223 - 300/200
.357 - 300/200
5.56mmx45 - 300/200

Does it list it as .308/7.62 and .223/5.56 in section 1 (Firearms Possessed) and then each calibre separately in section 2 (Ammunition) of your FAC?

BaconButty wrote:Yes, that's exactly it. So 5 items on the firearms part and 8 items in the ammunition part.
