I have one outstanding, because a single barrel 12 gauge Issac Hollis hammer gun is not on their list. That’s the bit that worries me, I register firearms as close as I could to the list, if it wasn’t exact, they made it fit. I gave up in the end, I registered 25 arms in total.
It seems their list reigns supreme. Most of my rifles became breech loaders, which it sorta ok, but Martini Henry, rat tail, falling block, trapdoor etc actions they had no idea, so breech loaders they are

If you registered by phone, You should have got an email explaining how to get your account "validated" so you can see ALL correspondance etc

How to validate your MyFirearms account

Step 1: Log in
Visit MyFirearms and log in with RealMe. You’ll need your mobile phone to carry out the security check.
Visit MyFirearms

Step 2: Go to My Activity
Select the ‘My Activity’ link at the top of that page. This will take you to your My Submission dashboard.

Step 3: Go to MyFirearms Submitted Forms
Select the heading ‘MyFirearms Submitted Forms’. This will show you all the forms you have submitted online.

Step 4: Find your Complete Your Profile form
Under the heading ‘My submitted other forms’ you'll find a link to your Complete Your Profile form. The link will start with the letters ‘CYP’. Select the link.

Step 5: Save and print the PDF
You’ll find a PDF file at the top of the Complete Your Profile 'Submission' page. The file name will be the date you submitted the form. Save it to your device, then print a copy out.

Step 6: Bring the form to a Police station
Bring the printed form in person to a Police station, together with your firearms licence card.
Once your identity has been confirmed, your MyFirearms account will be validated. This may take a few days.

Yes its a bit of a dick around but if your licence is expiring shortly like me then you have no choice but to "hop on their train" otherwise you cannot keep enjoying your hobby.
