dtown223 12 Posted August 20, 2013 Saw some grumblings on the NS2AS Facebook page, that NICS was back to fax/waiting game.. Can anyone confirm this? Perfect timing as I'm hoping to see a set of P2P's issued this week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remixer 1,645 Posted August 21, 2013 They get busy on Saturdays and sometimes they turn off the phones and only accept faxes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Night Prowler 0 Posted August 21, 2013 Had a check run on Monday. First call was a busy signal and call and check went through with out issue on the second attempt. I asked the FFL how NICS has been and he said Saturday is the only time they see a consistent issue. He said on Saturdays it is only optional that they work. There is normally a manager and two others running background checks. When they are overwhelmed that is when they go to the fax. Also he said there are more delayed checks being issued. He is seeing more first time purchasers being delayed as it takes time to find their info in the system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blacksmythe 71 Posted August 21, 2013 He is seeing more first time purchasers being delayed as it takes time to find their info in the system. Maybe if they stopped using a card catalog and dewy decimal system...............Never mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
