    Have a new gunsafe who do I call

    Upgraded my gunsafe in the guncity Black Friday sale and it’s now installed
    And ready to be checked
    Who do I call to get that done FSA or the local AO?

    No need to call anybody, its only required if you change your address. As a law abiding licensed firearms owner, who has had his previous safe checked at the last license renewal, you are fully capable of complying with the law without having plod come round and check your workmanship. And they will then check it again and your next license renewal.

    I've moved a safe within my previously inspected residence, added new safes, added and deleted locking racks etc. Never advised Plod and at subsequent inspections there was never an issue. The guy just checked fixings and locks were up to scratch etc.
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    Ghostbusters!

    Otherwise, nobody. There is no requirement. You have exchanged one compliant device for another.
