Hello all,

 

I just signed the papers for my background check to pick up my sig 1911 spartan. So in 5-10 business days I can pick it up.

 

However I have my eye on a bushmaster carbon ar15 223/5.56. If I were to purchase today and have it shipped to an FFL when would I be able to go and get it or start my next background check?

 

Do I have to wait 30 days (like pistol purchases)?

 

Thanks

Well, if it's not faxed yet, they should be able to check off the box for long gun also.  If they have faxed in your NICS check already, you can have them fax in another NICS for a long gun.

 

You do not need to wait 30 days to pick up the long gun.  This only applies to handguns.

 

I would temper the expectations of picking up in 5-10 business days.  It's been more like 17 calendar days minimum.

Ok so if they already faxed it in. Could I have them send a second one in tomorrow? Or do I need to wait for the first check to clear?

Nope, you can have them fax it in as soon as your long gun arrives.
