Howdy,

Fours days ago, I bought a 1979 Winchester 23 20ga from a local shop and got word back there was a NICS delay. I've bought many C&R guns before but nothing that require a NICS check for the last 3 years. I never experienced a delay before but heard they are getting common. I was told the NICS delay be indefinite. Is this something new (delays) and any suggestions on how to handle this frustration? What in the world causes a delay?

Thanks
Erin
