Wow on the time it takes for a NICS check. Paul at A&A has New Jersey-fied my Sig 716 Patrol rifle and I'm damn excited to get my hands on this nasty beast...

But we ran NICS on April 11th & still waiting. What is causing this unusually long period in getting approval from the NJSP?

Check the NICS subsection, I believe the consensus is the 3rd party holdup.

I'm also waiting since the 11th... Sucks

I've submitted mines on the 13th with Paul as well... hopefully I can pick it up Saturday?... Hopefully?

Made a purchase on Saturday and they told me 10-14 days for NICS.

Got my call today. Mine took 2 weeks. No more purchases in Nj for me. Easier to drive in PA

The hold up is not the 3rd party. Its the volume of checks and lack of warm bodies to run them. lets do some math.

 

figure there are between 4 and 6 people that run the NICS in NJ for every purchase.

 

on average it takes 7 minutes to run a NICS not including having to deal with the confusion of piles of faxes, Hand written submissions that are hard to read, spelling errors and duplicates

 

1 person can run 8 NICS per hour. x 5 submitters = 40 NICS per hour total x 10 or so hours a day.

 

so at this point they can run 400 NICS per day in a 10 hour day. If there are any more they spill over to the next day hence the delay.

Where are you getting the average number from?
