    just an update!
    i put €200 deposit on the rifle yesterday, bought the safe, putting it up tomorrow and going to take pic's just to put them in with the forms.
    i have most of the FCA1 done just waiting on permissions need 1 more :D and "proof of competence" i was wondering if i could put my time out in the field with my uncle and my aunt's husband and his brother they do alot of deerhunting etc.. just wondering if i can put that i having being out with them and they thought me about safety etc... they have got firearms since they are 17 hehe 45-48 now so would that count?
    i made copy's of everything, and i got my mother to write out a letter say that she is happy with the gun being in the house.

    here is a pic i took:D:D:D

    as far as im aware, a silencer requires a licence before buying it, just tick the box and maybe give a few reasons you want it

    If you intend to buy or have a silencer/moderator then you need to tick silencer box on the FCA1 when applying for your firearms license. If you do not tick the box and get the firearms license and decide to apply later for the silencer then you will need to pay another €80 to have the silencer added to your license.

    Apply for it with your firearms license. All at once.

    Wouldn't worry about it. The permissions seem to suffice.
