does designated collector status help at all?

It has not helped for me. Jan 18th and still waiting.

Congrats. Maybe I will be lucky tomorrow.

Omnipotent · Feb 26, 2013

Me too...I'm gonna have a drink as a toast to myself tonight in hopes of a pickup tomorrow. Waiting since 1/19....

If it doesn't come in tomorrow, will repeat the toast!

Gives me hope (18th)

Filled out my paperwork 1/22 and got the call today(2/26) ....I didn't really expect a call until the end of this week or beginning of next. Now I am just waiting for my collector paperwork to come back

Ah crap - I was afraid of that after the call. How does that work - do we go to back of the line and now I have to wait another 30+/- days?

Have your dealer call and check. I found out today that mine from the 19th are MIA.

Got my call this afternoon from my store that I'm all set and "not disapproved". I purchased 1/17, so 40 total days to hear back for me.

This is absolutely rediculous. Waiting 40 days for a process that shouldn't take more than 5.

How would NICS be impacted? My understanding is that MSP has direct computer access. They get an answer instantly and don't go through the staffed NICS operations center..

FBI is warning of delays in NICS processing and adjudication.

Sorry, but let's not exaggerate, here -- 5 minutes isn't realistic at all. A friend in Colorado just bought a 1911, and the NICs check took around 9 minutes.

Thirty Eight days here. Submitted late on the 19th, assuming that the FFL didn't fax it until the 21st. I hope to have my first new handgun sometime this week. :lol2:

That's rediculous right there. I want the longest wait time to be how long it takes me to pick the gun. Given, with me, that means anywhere from 1 week to six months, but I want that to be my fault damnit, not some failed system.

TwiceAZnice · Feb 27, 2013

Any idea on how long it would take if paperwork was filled out on 2/21/13?
