Thread: Useing the firearms register

I've had a chat to one of the bosses here who has dealt with the FSA a bit. Our advice is to call them if the gun isn't on the list and ask to give them feedback about it.

Unfortunately it seems that the list is a design choice to keep it accurate as possible and I kind of agree. If we are all putting slight variations of the same thing then it just gets worse and worse.

Definitely give them the feedback about missing models etc. We've put it in our list of feedback too.

Problem is having a list is going to create issues - after all how many rifles are rechambered rebarreled or modified away from what they were and you just won't get that on the prepopulated list?

There are going to be a lot of people that can find theirs on the list - good o. A lot of people will drive down the list, find the nearest and probably not even realise that what they have is different to what they registered, and then others won't be able to complete online at all and need to go through the phone in and scratch heads. That's where it falls over, as then you've got humans entering in remotely and if they enter it wrong and you can't correct it who's fault is that? Not ideal, seems very rushed and not thought through. The fact you are only limited to alphanumeric characters with dash and slash is a bit of a headbutt too.
