I have decided to bite the bullet and send off for my A&K to enable me to safely acquire and store black powder for use in experimental pyrotechnics.

 

My question is which form do I fill in? My local force is Greater Manchester Police and they list all the above on their website. 

 

I think I just need to fill in the COER 1 form for a grant/approval for A&K but wanted to check first.

 

Thanks

COER1, I sent mine off to the same force 3 weeks ago and not heard a thing yet. It's probably too soon but knowing my luck it'll have got lost in the post!

Going to give a guy a ring on Wednesday to clarify the cost for an A&K as they have told me it depends on the amount being stored. Ideally I wouldn't want more than 2-3kg at any time in my residence anyway so hopefully it isn't too dear.

 

Do you mind me asking if you paid a fee and how much it was?

Its free and if you store at home then you will be able to store 10-15kg depending what else you might be storing.

That is great then. Do you just send the forms into the normal licensing unit for firearms and wait to hear back? 

[maxman]

That's what I did but probably should of sent it recorded as I have no way of knowing if it arrived. If you do it and hear back before me then lets hear about it and I'll make a phone call. My other half who deals with government bodies tells me its more likely to be months than weeks which was also confirmed by someone I know with  a shotgun licence that is dealt with by the same office. If I had confirmation it was being processed I would be happier but time will tell.

I will keep you updated then. I used to work for GMP so I know how it can be internally with the amount of admin.

Correct me if I`m wrong anybody but I believe it`s COER 1a for an individual

COER1A For an individuals use in firearms/shotguns. Not appropriate here.
