    All depends on your contact in the uk. Our contact in Scotland can go directly to a senior police officer and have it back in two weeks when needed.

    Agree with the above, mine just back today and took just over 2 weeks.

    All the estimates above are quite correct but there will be minor differences between different Constabularies. Your quickest option is to ring a major police station in the area where you're visiting and ask to speak to one of the firearms people ( they're often civilian staff ). If they're able to fax you the application forms you've already gained a few days.
