I mean, I don't really WANT to have to go that route, but if it's my only recourse, it is what it is. I just want to know why I'm flagged and if it can be corrected before going the UPIN route.

So, I finally got delayed on a NICS check. It is super frustrating, because I had set up a convenient transfer between a VA resident and myself. Now, I have to go out of my way to get my rifle. I was about to start hitting out of state gun shows to find a few rifles, but I will have to re-think that now.
I think the most frustrating part is the lack of transparency. I did a MD case search and wow, there are a lot of people with my same name and no middle initial doing a lot of crap. So, with the exception of a recent shotgun purchase from a non-IP, I have never had a NICS check come back in under 15 minutes.
I remember Lou45 waiting on the phone for over 30 minutes once to get a Proceed on me.

Even with my name, I've never found the need for a UPIN. I don't understand how something like this can happen if you supply your SS#. Without it, I guess all bets are off.

It's beyond frustrating. I have a very unique name, and I get delayed every time. Then when I try to find out why, nothing in the system.

SSN was supplied. I know I'm not going to get denied. I guess I'm more venting than anything. The system should work better.

I understand your concern. With your SS#, there should be absolutely no reason for a delay. I just don't get it.
I wonder if they don't have a quota?

Now, that I could handle. Wrong day at the wrong time. Still sucks.

I went through that even with a UPIN..if one source dosn't come back you go on delay as I was told at a FFL

I guess the only positive is that I buy way more handguns than long guns. At least then I'm planning a return trip. 
I never have a problem or a wait as I have a Christian first name, a Russian middle name and an Irish last name the combo is not repeated anywhere in the USA. Chris

Meanwhile, my parents had no creativity.
I should give myself a middle name: L. Rasputin Brown.

Even better!Make that Rootin Tootin Rasputin Brown
So, I was just "Not Disapproved" on a handgun purchase this morning, which makes the delay even more annoying. I should be able to pick up tomorrow. after the 3 business day expiration. Hopefully, they return a Proceed, so I don't have to think about this any further.

Just got the call. They waited until the last minute to clear me.
