I was looking for a P38 (which I had to good fortune to purchase off an FFL in North NJ) S&W M&P 2.0 in Flat Dark Earth ( found on Gunbroker from a shop in FL) Ruger Redhawk .44 with 7.5 barrel (ended up with a Ruger Super Redhawk .44 with 9 barrel (found on Gunbroker from MN) When I was at Middlebrook a few weeks ago, you could see their stock was low. They had no shotguns to speak of at that time.

Typical NJ, nothing ever changes. One of THE most unfriendly states to gun owners. And thanks to left, the rioters and the "protesters" guns have been flying off the shelves. My last 3 pistol permits I had to purchase the guns online (GunBroker, Armslist) and had them transferred to NJ as no one had what I was looking to get.

I just put in a NICS check today, the guys at Middlebrook told me 2-3 days. That's Murphys NJ for ya

Guess it would make too much sense to just use the Federal NICS, but NJ has to be special and have their own.

I submitted last Thursday 4/16 and did not receive a call that it was ready until yesterday 4/21

I went to my local shop to pickup a pistol I ordered on gunbroker. And one of the owners told me, NICS is behind at least 1-2 days. I wouldn't be surprised if this "backup" or "delay" is being done on purpose by good ole Toothy Phil

I am looking to buy a Ruger Redhawk with 7.5 barrel. If you have any questions, let me know

This post can be closed as I found what I was looking for

The whole process is put in place to discourage law-abiding American citizens from exercising our Constitutional protected rights. The background checks I understand but the rest, the FID, the pistol permits are pointless. But its the govt, so it shouldnt surprise anyone.

This appears to be all driven by the FARS system now

What i mean by approved is exactly what the emails said. What I believe it means is that everything is ready to go, just have to wait until the locals contact you to pick them up

1/1/2020 - I put in for an address change & 3 pistol permits 1/4/2020 - Reference Questionnaire completed 1/8/2020 - Criminal History Check completed 1/16/2020 - second Reference questionnaire completed 2/10/2020 - Contacted local PD if there was anything else I needed to complete, informed he will let me know when it was completed 2/26/2020 - Received notification I was approved 2/27/2020 -Received notification from local PD to pickup my updated FID and permits It took a bit longer than I expected but it was painless

That does not seem to be valid email as it bounces back thanks anyway

Hi I am looking to buy a P38 or P1. If you have any questions, let me know

I used the new system for an address change of my FID and some pistol permits. I received the notifications regarding my references and the background checks. I put them in about 51 days ago, when I hit them up via email about a week ago. All I got was i would be notified when my permits were ready for pickup. Not sure how long this should realistically take or not. This is Bridgewater
