LICENCES ARRIVED!!!

knockon, 500 is not unrealistic, I also shoot clays, I asked for 750 (the Garda web site suggests 750 to 1000 for clay shooters) but got 500. It looks like they will reduce your allocation no matter how many you apply for.

i applied for 500 and got 500

Thats fair enough, some people are lucky with their local Gardi

I applied for 1,000 and got 100 which was increased to 250 after querying with Super :rolleyes:

Guidelines, forget it, they aren't worth paper they're written on

CJhaughey

There is no consistency in firearms issuing policy, exactly the same situation seems to be in effect as prior to the commencement of the new license.
Individual Supers pick and choose as to what they will and won't issue.
The guidelines are as much use an ashtray on a motorbike.

Half-cocked

From what i hear, applicants who ask for more than the recommended amount of ammo are being given 100ish. I asked for the maximum recommmended (750 shotgun, 200 CF rifle) and got them. A friend who asked for 1000 for the shotgun got 100 - same Super:mad:

DonalP

I don't think there's any logic being applied, its just pure random and luck

It wasn't me!

Got 200 for the .25-06, as requested. Will be possibly applying for a further increase on the .22LR when it's renewed from 5,000 to 10,000 in order to take a trip to Germany and batch test, so hopefully won't be a problem there.

Got my 4 this week. .22, .223, .270 and 12g shotgun, had ticked the box for silencer for .22 and .223 but no mention of silencer on either licence.
Had also applied for different amounts of ammo for each but got 100 rounds on all 4 licences... Still, happy to have retained all four without too much hassle...

I spoke to the Supers office today, and regarding and outstanding licence. They say that it has been granted with them since Nov 16th, and I should have recieved my payemt letter by now.

They say that it is now out of their control as that part is outsourced.. so how do I follow up... I have been granted a licence by my Super, but cant pay for the thing and collect the gun.

aggghhh.

i only applied for 100 and got 250, figure that one out.

In reality (and obviously assuming there are no postal or admin cock-ups;)), you should have the actual FAC licence back to you in 2 - 5 working days.:D

If you paid directly at an Post, you should definitely receive the final "card" in 2 - 3 working days.

Or that's been my experience to date so far on my two licences!:D

will my 3yrs commence from end of extension or issue of licence

Just checked the licences - It seems that the 3 year period runs from whatever date is on the top right hand corner of the Firearms Certificate Grant Notice Letter. Well, actually, the day before the date on your letter.

It will have the expiry date on your actual licence card anyway.

if i needed to buy ammunition what would i be supposed to do

Now, that all depends on your own dealer!;)

Hope that's of some help.

My side by side arrived today with 200 rounds. I buy the Elys in boxs of 500 for clay shooting. I asked for 500 which is not unrealistic - is it?

I sent a letter to the Superintendent on Tuesday. His office called today and apologised for the mistake. A new license will be issued with 700 Cartridges. That was quick and painless.

I can't say the same about the 2 SIG's - Appeal on Jan 6th in the DC.

What a surprise!As I wasnt expecting them or the postman with the roads in the condition they are here.Now the wait for the restricted three begins...:(.yet it is bizarre,two shotguns are restricted and they are issued no problems,the third is as well,but no sign of that one.
