    Wrong calibre dammit !

    Most likely my fault, but still annoying. Got a .45 variation on my FAC. Saw a nice muzzle-stuufer online marked up as .44/.45 & had it sent to my RFD. It turns out to be .44 & my RFD says "No can do". Grrrrr. Silly me.

    Thought I put .44/.45 on the variation, but the permission on my slot does say .45. So either I messed up, or they did. Time for another variation dammit.

    Licensing guys might well do a '1 for 1' which should cost you nothing except a bit of time .. you're not looking to increase the amount of guns you have, or even change type/mechanism of firearm. I had a similar concern when I bought my Ruger Old Army, but it was an early one stamped .44 so no problem in my case as I had a slot for .44

    fully agree. Dorset are as good as this .. I did similar change but the other way round .. .38/357 to .17hmr with a mod including change of use for pest rather than target. No charge. If it's a fair reason they tend to be fair.
