cant understand how my mates was processed in blanchardstown after a week and half. and it wasn't even handed in there. . . ?:rolleyes:

rowa

it might depend on what the licence is for , is it a restricted firearm ? i had all mine back except the ones for the pistols reasonably quickly , and am still waiting for one after 5 months .

dicky82

no its a standard o/u shotgun licence,

Should be no longer than 2wks for sub iv heard, id be getting on to my F.O. Is it a straight change like for like ?

I'd be all over that like a rash Traumadoc. The rules for substitutions are max. 14 working day turnaround. Including posting, etc you should have had it back within 3 weeks.

Did you substitute a new license for another new license or did you substitute your old one/extension for a new one in the one application?

If its the latter then they may be taking so long to process the application and subtitution as one, but if its a new license for a new license then there is no excuse.

New for new, same caliber .... its for a BA I handed in my SA at the gunshop -I have called a few times - It is up at the supers desk apparently.:rolleyes:

Cass

You have already been approved/passed/deemed fit to possess the firearm so a substitution is just changing the model. Seriously, not telling you your business, but get onto any NGB you are affiliated to or call the FPU and tell them what is going on.

I'll leave it up to Jeff to explain my sentiments on the matter..........

panic stations over, got it in the post this morning. . . hope the other one is b it quicker. . . .:rolleyes:
