I sent my renewal off to Thames Valley 2 weeks ago, got a call from our firearms officer yesterday about checking serial numbers and cabinet. He was in the area this morning so said could he pop in for 10 mins. No problem!
Came round had a quick look at the cabinet, serial numbers and moaned about shell prices (he shoots a 20 bore a 12 and a 16 bore!) Thanks very much, it will be with you in a couple of weeks, see you in 5 years
Only small problem was a gun I had part exchanged with a dealer was still recorded as mine. It was from a dealer that does the full works for you, fill in all the paperwork at point of sale and they send it off for you. Nice and easy. Lesson learnt, belt and braces I will send my own transfer as well in future
