Went to my FFL to fill out the paperwork and got a peek at it. Very little cosmoline and in great shape.

Now I just have to wait for the background check to go through....

Sweet!! I just got my K31 from Samco last Wednesday and my check was done today! 5 working days!! BTW I aslo have an M44 from AIM and love it!

Mine came from wideners today too

I didn't know there was a background check wait in NJ.  How long is it?  The only place I knew about was Colorado. Is there a background check for handguns or does the pistol permit cover that?

Where have you been? Average "NICS" time has been over a week. Now it takes two trips. Once to fill out the paperwork, once to actually take possession.

Maybe you guys just buy way more guns in NJ.  Only delay I had was during the Oaks show when the PA PICS system (which has to run NICS) was actually down.  It was down along with the Police criminal check system for traffic stops.  As soon as it came up I was approved within minutes.There is no week-long wait for NICS.  It's something about NJ and Colorado and the way they use it.  Every time I buy a gun from a dealer in PA it uses NICS.  Nobody is suffering what you are in NJ and CO.  Although there may be other states I haven't heard about, it's still not purely a NICS issue.

hi this is 2013 welcome to it. I guess you have been gone for some time

This is in all states or Jersey? Because I passed NICs in 2 minutes two weeks ago. Nobody in PA is waiting weeks for NICS unless they are put into "research," it's business as usual.

 

I asked a question and every response has seemed like it's happening everywhere. It's not.

 

OK, I guess I have my answer to my original question. I did not know this was happening in Jersey. I only knew about Colorado.

 

Does NICS delay a Jersey resident that buys from an FFL in PA?

 

I'm sure people here have done that. I'd be curious to hear that it does. That would be crazy.

The delay is in going through NJSP for the NICS check, not the NICS system itself. A NJ resident buying a long gun in PA ha the same wait time as a PA resident.

Congratulations on the M44,

I dont have one but i be shot one. Makes fireballs like you wont believe.

 

For some reason i found WD-40 to be a very good cosmoline remover if the gun has little cosmo.

When I bought y first hand gun not to long ago nics was like 10mins. Second handgun after conn shooting. A week.

Me. Want. Fireballs. *Contemplates buying a M44 soon*

Now I heard fireballs..can't wait for my NICS so I can make my own fireballs

Lets see some pics when you get them!!

Try it at an indoor range. I brought mine to RTSP (to make sure it's working properly) and the fireballs lit up the place, not to mention it's guaranteed to be the loudest gun in there!
