Last firearm I bought was a year ago this time;  nics was same day, about an hour or 2.  Fast forward to today - 7 to 10 days for todays purchase!!!

sheesh.   it was funny though listening to the first time buyers that were next to me moaning about it and sad at the same time. 

oh well, carry on.

 

cheers

Same experience here.  I have an HK VP9  in jail right now and it will likely stay there until the end of next week! NJ sucks!

my friend just got a rifle. It took 7 days. I was like damn.

I mean, it sucks, thats still only half to a third as bad as back in 2013.

I think one of my pistols took 12-14 days, and that was *fast* for when I submitted. Pretty sure 20+ days was not unheard of back in those dark days.

in same boat here, did paper work yesterday for bolt action and  ffl said see you in a week or so

Isn't it supposed to be that if they can't get the check done in three days, they have to process the transaction without it?  I believe that's federal law, but I guess it doesn't pertain in NJ?

Since Murphy gun law package, No NJ FFL is allowed to transfer any weapon without the STN the state provides after they complete a NICS. 

The underlying 'problem' is that We the People  Servants of NJ are still buying firearms like mad. And it got worse after the recent shooting and police incidents. Last week the wait queue jumped back up to over 5,000.

I joined the queue on the 16th.  Supposedly the state cleared that backlog on Thursday.  Haven’t heard from my FFL yet.

Even at that . . . It was MAY, not MUST . . . It was up to the FFL.

Yeah never heard of any NJ FFL releasing a weapon before nics check came back, even before that. 

Today’s purchase was 13 seconds after the ffl hit submit on the timer on the site for me to get the proceed.... was 10 seconds last week I feel your guys pain

What does that mean?  You got NICS approval in 13 seconds?

Yes sir, this was not in nj though

Seems it's down to a day or few hrs now.

Should still be INSTANT...

Agreed should be instant or within minutes.
