Thread: Useing the firearms register

Well here's some advice for when any of you get an email from them about guns they just don't know about and can't find a label for.

I had a number of my rifles queried recently.
FSA wanted full length images, action images and serial number images.

I supplied everything they required.

They came back ( after a quick google image search I think ) suggesting what Make, Model and caliber they wanted them to be registered as.
Makes, models and calibers they suggested they would prefer were all different from the correct ones I had supplied.

When they phoned to follow up why I hadn't responded to their email I told them I frankly didn't know what to say because they were suggesting that I have incorrect information on my registration.
I asked him to look down all the items in my registration and tell me how many Makes and Models he recognised immediately ?
His response amounted to 4% of my total registered items.
So my next question to him was " do you think it is an accident that I have so many guns you don't recognise ? Or do you think I might be a collector of less common guns ?"
Ultimately he accepted that I clearly knew the Make, Model and Caliber of those rifles because I owned them and had brought them primarily because they were not your average rifle !

It was a very irritating exercise in futility.
Photographs, emails, phone calls and what has ended up on my registration is exactly what I had originally entered.
