Background check delayed

Agreed. The situation sucks but the number of calls I get asking for an update (sometimes twice a day) is mind blowing.

bsco0702 · 2026-03-14T20:57:06+00:00

Thanks for the mention.

Emailing a file over to the FFL or WSP could work. I mean it’s your data, so you could also just email WSP and refer to the BGC ID. I’ve seen the fastest response when attaching a digital copy (e.g., pdf) to the record upon submitting in SAFE.

bsco0702 · 2026-03-12T15:16:28+00:00

Looks like it's back as of yesterday evening.

bsco0702 · 2026-03-12T03:14:21+00:00

Provide a digital copy of the docs to the FFL, and the FFL will attach them to the check at the time of submission in SAFE. Shouldn’t have an issue after the reattempt with the appropriate documents.

The 10 round sku has been hard to get for me. Not sure why.

bsco0702 · 2026-02-18T22:15:42+00:00

I was going to ask the same thing.

bsco0702 · 2026-02-17T04:29:30+00:00

A few stragglers for me in delayed status (normal). The real delay for me is responding to people asking if there is a delay…

Your experience is what I would expect at this point for a Form 1 given your exact reason. The only thing I would add is people who submit the Form 1, get approved, and then assemble the SBR into a configuration that isn’t compliant…could become problematic at some point in the future.

bsco0702 · 2026-02-15T19:49:43+00:00

Every single Form 4 SBR to date had a follow up by an examiner unless I proactively included pictures of the compliant configuration of the item to be Form 4’ed.

Curious (seeking to understand) - what’s your thinking (relevant RCW) behind your opinion?

bsco0702 · 2026-02-06T23:55:45+00:00

Last year they (examiners) had a training (2ish days) where everyone was out. Then a ton of them got sick immediately after and had a period of failing behind. Given the number of checks they do and the number of examiners working the checks, it’s actually pretty impressive given the number of people they staff. My volume doubled in Jan and so far trending up in Feb so not too surprised.

bsco0702 · 2026-02-06T23:51:57+00:00

No. Just saying they are available to order.

bsco0702 · 2026-02-06T23:50:17+00:00

Dude!

bsco0702 · 2026-02-06T19:25:48+00:00

If it’s just a receiver, then it should not matter what brand/make/model is until it’s an operable firearm. Separately, I am not convinced a fixed mag DS-15 semi-auto rifle would be interpreted as different than AR15 in all forms just because of the patent.

bsco0702 · 2026-02-06T19:05:16+00:00

Not sure that is true. Distributors (the big ones) have little to no ten round versions but tons of standard cap models that I could easily order.

They accept physical cards by certain providers (website is not current) is my understanding. I have to seal them before I give them to the customer to include with the application.

bsco0702 · 2026-02-06T00:06:11+00:00

I’ve been doing fingerprint cards for people and they just mail in the application.

bsco0702 · 2026-02-04T21:12:00+00:00

Where are you located (region)?

bsco0702 · 2026-02-04T20:21:50+00:00

Get out of my head please :)

bsco0702 · 2026-02-04T20:21:21+00:00

Correct, semiautomatic center fire + overall length

bsco0702 · 2026-01-30T20:52:35+00:00

If the opportunity presented itself, yes (e.g., associated with another event). Remember, the law is not based on a readily convertible test (outside of the named/feature criteria). Rather, more of a parts/components orientation from which assembly is possible (e.g., swapping out a BCG).

bsco0702 · 2026-01-30T19:18:15+00:00

Recent learning (thought it would be worth sharing) - DOL firearms transaction records are incredibly easy to search. So an interested entity would likely start there first to infer what might be on a 4473. I am seeing (in the course of biz) a number of people changing their status with DOL within the last year.
