Hi. I have been granted my FAC and have spent the past few weeks looking at guns but have not yet purchased. Im still using the local clubs armoury when visiting.
Is there a time period between being granted a licence and buying your first gun. just conscious time is moving but also don't want to rush buy
Hi All. finally got my FAC though. Been a while. My first purchase is a semi auto .22lr rifle. Ive always fancied a HK416 and have started looking round but cant find any new. Is it discontinued or superseded by something else? Is it worth contacting a store as asking if they can source new?
Not sure of the correct process here being my first gun.
Thanks

I’ve got them taken down a few times by vero but it’s a constant battle. I really regret posting my designs. They are supposed to be free.
It’s the same sellers doing it too.
Any suggestions?
For all you lotus owners with failed headlight indicators and DRL's
I have a wood framed garage and the rain drives under between the dwarf wall and the wood frame.
It seems like a bit of poor design as my googling has not provided a solution.
I thought about adding some flashing under the last ‘ship lap’ to divert the rain away from the dwarf wall or as per the picture some aluminium gully things I had left over.
Neither look great so thought I’d ask for some advice.
I've spent my whole life thinking I was just bad at maths. Turns out there's actually a reason.
I only stumbled onto this recently while doing some reading about neurodivergence and cognitive profiles. I'd never heard dyscalculia properly explained before. When I read the description it was like someone had written a profile of my entire school experience without ever having met me.
Failed maths GCSE twice and I tried really really hard the second time at collage.
The specific things that clicked for me when I read about it:
When I write or type numbers I'll regularly transpose digits without realising. I'll mean to write 842 and write 824. I don't notice it because it looks right to me in the moment. it's really bad for doing quotes and invoices and ive learnt to just triple check. When someone reads a number out loud, I'll sometimes process and write it backwards.
What gets me is that none of this affected how I think or reason or solve problems. I've built a career, run a business, navigated complex situations. I just always worked around the number stuff without knowing why it was hard in the first place.
Is there a need or a reason to formally test for this?
Would be curious to hear from anyone else who figured this out late. Especially if you'd already built a decent life working around it without knowing what it actually was.
I have been looking around for some 5-6 capacity gun safes (with internal ammo box) and looking for any recommendations.
Ones that have come up during my search;
Hi all. im halfway though my FAC appliction. just waiting for my referee to finish filling the form so ive started looking at safes. Im only asking for 2 guns but feel this may expand in the future. so probably 3-4 safe should be ok.
I also noted on the form that I will use the internal ammo compartment for ammo. That said ive since read that some forces want separate ammo safes.
Is it best to contact the force before submitting the app (and buying a safe) just to make sure whats acceptable.
I feel theres alot of chicken and egg questions for a first time app.
