NICS checks

Recommended Posts

Was told last night by my FFL that they haven't been receiving NICS approvals on Saturdays anymore.  Said they were currently running at 14 day returns. 

I be happy with 14 days. I bought two guns last week and was told 17-21 days maybe up to 24 days.

I'm a victim of both the NJSP and  FFL screwups...First submission 3/17 lost by NJSP...FFL refaxed on 4/1..the assumed it went through when in reality it didn't...Refaxed second time on 4/30    NJSP finally sent response on 5/16....what a federal case this turned out to be..

14 days for total for my check. was told 19, so i'm pretty happy it only took 14. Just about 6 months total from the time I applied for my permits til I got to bring my 1911 home. big props to Al Bodnar from Weapons and Accessories for making my transaction smooth. Now just gotta decide what to get next.

Anyone get a long gun at cabelas in Hamburg Pa recently? What's the NICs wait there? Probably worth the 2 1/2 hour drive to avoid the headache.

NICS in PA is normally 15-30 minutes.

Hey with all this wait time it really makes us appreciate and understand our 2nd amendment more than than the rest of the free states without this we wouldnt be as concerned or aware as the other states. Not saying that is good. But you cant say thats not true. From a 16 day nics check veteran.

I cant get anyone to tell me if it is lost or not. This sucks.  Now day 20. If I don't hear anything in the next few days, should I ask them to resubmit? At this rate all future long gun purchases will be in Pa.

Submitted  on 6/14/2013 @ 4:30PM, received call from FFL 6/18/2013 @ 10AM


2 business days!


 


FFL told me Monday 6/18 started instant checks but decided to submit Friday anyway.  Either way glad as sh*t I didn't have to wait nearly as long as some of you guys. Time to go pick up my new pistol!

It took me more than 3 minutes only once - because PICS was completely down for almost 12 hours.

 

But my primary dealer comments that I always go right through. The only explanation is that PICS knows how awesome I am. Darn NSA.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
