LB6

10th May - handed in form.
11th May - phone call from my very very nice FO. All ok with paperwork - up on system now.

I am in the same county as you and got a .270 last year in 2 weeks. I am now over 7 weeks waiting for a .22lr. I understand that there is a new super in the station I use maybe this is the reason, but you can never tell

It wasn't me!

Nice one LB6. I still think the most efficient though is the time I was a reference for IRLConor. When he dropped in the form, I'd gotten a phone call to verify I was willing to vouch for him before he even made it home!

Tackleberry.

I've heard that some garda department are draging there heals because of some sort of dispute... I have a lad buying a shotie off me and it's taking its time.

Paddy Hogan is the FO in Roxboro, where I have to go to. Very amenable lad. Into the guns himself so knows the score. Even said, that he'd fix paperwork, that should have been done last year when I sold the KK200. Seemingly, my name was still on it! :eek:
Haven't heard from the two ref's yet to say he'd been in touch.
It's a Valmet Finnish Lion (now owned by Tikka). Times tickin'

Hope they don't drag their heels Tack - would like to get going with this one soon-ish!

Thought you'd have been over in Mayorstone then? There's a decent FO over there too.

No, Mary St, I am wrong side of Hassetts Cross for Mayrostone, and a few lads I know can never get joy in Mayorstone. Had a great FO in Mary St, but he is now in Henry St, and not an FO any more at least that is my understanding of it.

TBH - It should be that gardai, who are shooting enthuasists, should be FO's, not just some joesoap who only knows about them on paper. Doesn't bode well at all for ppl trying to get licences. Hope your 22 comes through fast.

Best of luck with a quick return on your licence. The new .22 sounds good, a nice fancy name 'Valmet Finnish Lion'

I put in for a SG pump yesterday myself. God only knows how long it will take.
