Except for a very few stragglers, all of the smallbore rifles were returned to Army storage. This is between the individual and the FBI.ĭuring the past 14 years, the Army has required most units and schools to turn in all of their smallbore rifles. The FBI does not give us any reasons why someone is on delay or denied. It does no good to ‘run it again’ daily – the status won’t change. We just found that ’30’ works best in not jerking the customer or the FBI around. The reason for waiting 30 days is that we have found after all these years that most ‘delays’ and ‘open’ do change to ‘proceed or ‘deny’ within that time. If after 30 days the NICS request still shows as open – we cancel the order and notify the customer to submit an appeal to the FBI.

We track the status several times each day for up to 30 days. This is not something we do – it is the FBI NICS system. After 3-4 days, if the FBI does not give us a ‘proceed’ or ‘delay’, the NICS system changes the status to ‘open’. If we get a ‘delay‘, we do nothing but keep checking the status until it changes. If response was a ‘deny’, we cancel the order and prepare a letter and send it to the customer with information for the customer to appeal the ruling directly to the FBI. If we get the ‘proceed’, we print the information and attach it to the order and put the order in the tray (for the date order was received) for processing.

Every hour or so we check the list and some status will have changed to either ‘proceed’, ‘deny’ or ‘delay’. As soon as we do, the name shows up on the screen in a list with other names that we have input and not yet received a response. Third– we input the information directly into the FBI ENICS system via computer (not by telephone). It only provides the information about the individual. Second– the NICS check submission to the FBI provides no information about the firearm – no model, no serial number, nothing. We can also ship direct to your home, where dealers cannot. The three days after a ‘delay’ does not apply to us as it does to FFL licensed dealers. So – we cannot ship a rifle until we get a ‘proceed’ from the FBI. The law also specifies that we must have a completed ‘successful’ background check conducted for each sale. We are not required to keep a ‘book’ or to ship only to another FFL. The law that established the CMP exempted us from FFL requirements. If you receive a “Delay” from the FBI, why do you not process the order after three days, as authorized by law?įirst– we are not your regular gun dealer.
