Polak 3 Posted December 27, 2012 Has the crazy rush subsided with NICS? Are they replying within the 10 minutes they used to or is it still taking 3-5 days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Brunswick Sportsman 4 Posted December 27, 2012 Yes, they are still operating with heavy delays Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcm308 0 Posted December 27, 2012 I would think at some point NICS would slow down to a crawl and should be rather quick considering every store in the country is about sold out of semi auto rifles.. question is when. Hopefully its before my KAC arrives at my dealer..lol Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qel Hoth 33 Posted December 27, 2012 Is NICS slow for the whole country or just NJSP contact? Planning on buying a rifle in pa tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted December 27, 2012 Is NICS slow for the whole country or just NJSP contact? Planning on buying a rifle in pa tomorrow. My understanding is that the FBI is a bit slow, but the new NJ process magnifies that slowness by a lot and when combined with limited staff it becomes a real nightmare.

djg0770 481 Posted December 27, 2012 As per a local FFL, he's seeing NICS numbers in the 500s by the end of the day indicating that approx 500 NICS transactions have been approved in a 12 hr time period. That's 1.44 mins per NICS check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zoid 24 Posted December 28, 2012 Anyone still waiting and when did you purchase the firearm? I'm waiting since 12/21/12. Just seeing if anyone else waiting this long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted December 28, 2012 From what I've heard, 3 out of the 5 down in Trenton that do the nics, are on holiday vacations. So that, the high rate of nics needing to be done among other things are slowing the process down to a crawl. Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

RecessedFilter 222 Posted December 29, 2012 I had Walt fax my paperwork to NJSP on 12/20 and I received the call that I could come pick up two days later on 12/22. For some reason, I have some things coming through the mail that are taking forever and I'm getting anxious. One guy shipped something 9 days ago and it still has yet to get to my shop. But with the holidays, I can understand the shipping companies are over their head in packages and whatnot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aristoi 0 Posted December 29, 2012 I purchased 12/22 and picked up yesterday 12/28. 6 days including Christmas in between. My original estimate given at time of purchase was 24-48 hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunguy1960 2 Posted December 30, 2012 1.44 minutes to do a check, $15.00 per check, still not enough incentive for public employees to move their a**ess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TulsaJohn 1 Posted January 3, 2013 Still waiting from the 27th. I have a felling that my paper work got lost, and has to be resubmited. Called gun shop today, and they still havent recived approval for my purchase, but they have recieved other approvals after mine was submitted, so thinking it got lost in the shuffle.
