      A right delayed is a right denied.

        Well I went to 32 days this time . That's 2 days faster than the time before that . So I figure if I make 10 or so more purchases I might get to take advantage of the 10day express lane .

              I was doing one purchase a month until the panic buying that wiped out everyone's inventory. These days I have a hard time finding what I'm looking for. I don't like buying online but I even signed up on GunBroker but I haven't bought anything yet.

                I just did my first GunBroker transaction. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not a fiasco experience like others have reported in other threads . Not much more of a ordeal than a regular in state GS purchase .

                  I found a local FFL (Turner's won't do it) so I'm looking at lever action rifles. I'm only interested in factory new and buy now. GB has quite a few Henrys listed so that's what I'm looking at.

                    That's what i did . (The buy now ) buy once cry once. After all was said and done I paid about the same as I would have buying locally . Which by the way was very difficult considering my shop was out of stock and still is out of stock . So it worked out . Sucks that it took 32 days but hey it went a lot faster than my.prior 34 day wait for a rifle I bought last year

                      I've seen a few factory new Henry lever actions that are buy now and list at about $100 cheaper than Turner's price but they can't promise delivery on a special order. My FFL charges $116 so in the long run it's a few dollars more for something I can get now rather than wait indefinitely for something than may or may not come in.

                          Wait, DROS is done in real time. The 10 day waiting period is after DROS with all the background check etc.

                          When you are at the shop doing DROS, they get a response right away. It is either approved, declined or could require a review.

                          Why you got a call from the shop after DROS doesn't jive with how the process works....

                            Whoa ! Sounds like you need to cool off . 10 days work for you ? Yeah ? Ok let's make that 30 . Give or take a few .

                              They charge $77 fee for a hand gun or long gun and $37 DROS fee. They are about 10 minutes from my house so I like the convenience. They are not a gun shop, they are a gunsmith that I occasionally use. The next closest FFL charges $87 + $37 and after that it's $125 + $37. If I want to make two trips to Fullerton I can get $50 + $37.

                                Yeah . That makes sense considering I paid 60 for transfer
                                37 dros the FSC fee 40 shipping fee then the 1hour drive gasoline fee . Oh and the 3 % CC fee even though I used a debit card . All that minus the dros and fsc took away from the hundred or so bucks I would appear to be saving by using GB. I guess what it comes down to is one way or the other the amount you will pay is the same . The major reason I used GB after all is said and done ends up being availability.
