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?

Yes, they are still operating with heavy delays

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

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.

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.

Got an estimate of 3days or so today from lous

NICS wait via voice was 10 mins today

The stars were in alignment for you. I think you should play the lottery today.

Fair enough

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.

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.

Zoid, I am waiting since 12/20 for my glock 23...

I purchased on 12/21 and picked up on 12/26

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.

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.

1.44 minutes to do a check, $15.00 per check, still not enough incentive for public employees to move their a**ess.

You're saying this as if the guy making the call is getting the $15...

Everyone in that process is a public employee and they are always crying for more money.

Are the wait times any better?

Still waiting for Dec 29th.

Still waiting from the 27th.

Resubmit

Submitted 12/31 picked up today 1/2. So one day with the holiday.

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.

NICS is not doing them in order. I can not figure out what the hell they are doing.

Guess I won't have my two new shotguns before Sunday.
