Ok - the way I read that was that you could only use one cheque or order and not a multiple of them to pay the €80 in full for one licence
It doesn't say that you can't put 3 full payments on the one cheque/order and send off together.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had done what I'm going to do - tx ranger 4 - save me €6 on two orders that I don't have to get now.

Hmmm. This may be a new record.
I've moved from Greystones in the last year after getting engaged, so this year was going to be the renewal and move in one go. And with work suddenly going insane along with other things, I screwed the pooch on submitting the paperwork and it didn't go into the Gardai until Thursday, Oct.29. The local FO saw it on Friday, Oct.30 and called me about it that night, I met him on Monday, Nov.2 at lunch so he could see me and my passport to verify identity (because I'd never been to the local station before and nobody knew me), and from the phone call I just made, all three licences (one smallbore rifle, one air rifle, one air pistol) were granted on Wednesday afternoon (Nov.4) despite confusion over the pistol not being in the Guidelines Schedule, and now we're just waiting on the postman.
I mean, under the old system it took almost eight days to get the air pistol licence and nearly a fortnight to get the rifle licences.
Maybe it's not all hardship and pain?
(Well, maybe I'll hold off on that one since I've not heard from the postman yet )
There was one oddity - the local FO tells me that he can't issue more than 1000 rounds on the licence, that PULSE won't allow it for some reason... which might be a bit of a worry since that's just two tins of air pellets...)0 -
Speak of the postman and you'll usually find he's been to your house three hours earlier. First letter in the postbox was the notice that the application had been received; second letter was the notice that the application had been granted(Well, maybe I'll hold off on that one since I've not heard from the postman yet )
Now to go find an open post office as soon as possible and pay the fee...0 -

You omitted to mention that it was a whole order of magnitude more than 1000 that you were looking forThere was one oddity - the local FO tells me that he can't issue more than 1000 rounds on the licence, that PULSE won't allow it for some reason... which might be a bit of a worry since that's just two tins of air pellets...)
Others have got 5,000 so it was that extra digit when you wanted 10,000 that caused PULSE to boil over and blow a valve.
As I advised in email, 9,999 would have been fine

About .9 grams each for pistol and 1.something for rifle. But their weight is as carefully controlled as it is for .22 bullets (if not more so) because it's a major factor in their group size. It's remarkably accurate for counting (though yes, one in a thousand might be inside the noise margin, but it says 500 on the tin so taking one out is the limit of due diligence ) 0

I don't think that weight is right. A .22 bullet is (40 grain) about 2.5 grams and a .177 pellet is significantly smaller and hollow where the .22 is solid.About .9 grams each for pistol and 1.something for rifle.

I was of the impression they were about 9 or 10 grain? Actually just looked up RWS pellets and they vary from 7.1 to 8.6 grain.
Which is about half a gram.0 -
