Not heard of any denials, Police would be hard pressed to deny the E endorsement if you already have a Firearms Licence as you have already been deemed a "Fit & Proper Person" only thing that could hold you back is substandard security or recent Head injuries/Mental Health issues/Violence issues etc.

List everything you can think of for your reasons and add "And Any Other Lawful Purpose" that way your covered for anything you forgot to add.

Good Luck

Cheers for that.

Is it possible to add future reasons to your endorsement later on.

But anyway I will include the 'And Any Other Lawful Purpose'

Don't think so.

Only when you relicense in 10 years time.

I'm picking there will come a time shortly when the Police will make a regulation that you can only use Your E cat Firearms for the purpose you stated.

i.e.. if you only put target shooting as the reason for owning a MSSA then you will not be able to use said firearm for Hunting etc.

I've now handed in so now it's a waiting game. I added the statement for any other lawfull use. That should cover everything. The only thing I need to worry about is keeping my partner happy till her interview. Will see how long this process takes

Might only take a few weeks to a month.

So whats is the best deal on an E at present? 5 or 6 gun.

i looked at the 5 or 6 gun safe but then everyone here said if your looking at a 5 get a 10 and i'm so glad i listened ! got a 10 gun buffalo river safe from reloaders good safe but the ammo storage is kinda small would be my only complaint

I have had nothing to say there are any conditions of use. Or are the condtions what I put down on the application?
If so, happy times as I covered everything possible. lol

Got my new card in the post today. No conditions attached/specified other than the standard 7 rules. Got me worried for a sec and then I remembered your post. Now I can insert 'freedom' mags.

Nice, enjoy unrestricted mags/stocks etc

Just dropped my papers in today, how long did the whole process take?

Thanks. I actually experienced lesser stoppages and feeding issues with them 20 & 30rd mags. Now I look forward to some pest control and 3gun shoots.

Mine took a few months in total, as the AO forgot to sent the relevant paperwork away.
Got all sorted pretty quickly once he did though. May have been 3 weeks after the initial error/holdup.

Comes down to the workload of the vettor(s).
As you can imagine they have a rather increased workload so are under pressure to get through the applications.

The vettor that interviewed me and the Mrs finished up with us, as the last interview for the day, at 2200 and had been on the go since 0700 doing interviews.
There are 12 vettors in CHCH at the moment and they need more to cope with the applications.
Lots of FAL applicants are Asian and he said many can't speak any English making the process a lot longer/harder.

I put mine in 3 weeks ago, so far I've heard nothing

My problem is I have to move it by myself so weight is an issue and frankly I cant see me ever wanting 5 E cats....if I do well another safe, no biggee IMHO.

A mate just got one of those from Reloaders btw, seems its buggered, but Reloaders have said no probs...so a good example of after market care.

I store my ammo and bolts in another bigger safe, it has a 10mm thick door

I used this process - quite quick too - took about 2 weeks with no hassles. I'm also submitting 3 x POL67X forms to register three of my rifles as E-cat.
