ColtPistols 0 Posted November 29, 2013 So since the NICS section is closed maybe it's okay to ask here. How long is NICS backed up? I haven't had a NICS check since the disaster that lasted from December through nearly all of summer and was wondering if it only backed up yesterday and today and if anybody's heard back yet?

JT Custom Guns 958 Posted November 29, 2013 If the NICS unit is open (during their normal working hours) the delay should be approx 10 minutes............. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobertJames 14 Posted November 29, 2013 Mine took maybe 10 or 15 minutes today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColtPistols 0 Posted November 29, 2013 Just curious because I'm at about five hours into my wait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobertJames 14 Posted November 29, 2013 Was yours phoned in or faxed in? 5 hours ago would be lunch time on Black Friday, on a day when I'm sure some of the NICS checkers took off. Not surprised it would take a bit longer, all things considered, but that seems excessive. Maybe the gun shop misplaced your number? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogfarmer 138 Posted November 29, 2013 If this is a purchase from Dicks it may take a day or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColtPistols 0 Posted November 29, 2013 Yeah it was from Dick's. Don't know if they phoned or faxed it in. What makes a difference where? Aren't they all checked at the same place? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogfarmer 138 Posted November 29, 2013 When I got mine from dicks on BF they had so many due to sales, they got backed up @ dicks and takes time to submit them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mge_1 2 Posted November 29, 2013 Yeah it was from Dick's. Don't know if they phoned or faxed it in. What makes a difference where? Aren't they all checked at the same place? Burlington Dick's mentioned someone just started inputting all sales from last night into the system this morning and they don't expect to get approvals back by tomorrow or Monday. Which I was kinda expecting this will be the case. I don't mind the wait, we pay when we pick it up anyways. Just glad the one I wanted was still in stock and got a banging deal as well.

ColtPistols 0 Posted November 29, 2013 Mine had to be paid for upfront, but I don't see what makes the difference. I thought NICS couldn't handle the volume again, but I guess it's just Dick's. Hopefully last years problems don't resurface as I've got five more permits to burn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
