A few FAC questions.

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

My FAC arrived in the post today :shakeshout:
Just went and bought a 10/22 Target
Got everything I applied for, though reduced amount of .22 to buy & hold. Applied for 1000/1500 got 500/600.

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.
