7 Day wait for unrestricted .22 AR7

[Troublesbrewin]

I was a little PO'd when I wasn't allowed take my new AR7 the day I paid for it. How is it the MSP can manage to do an instant search for rifles but a handgun now takes around 8 weeks. I think it's a BS order from the governors office to limit the restricted weapons sales until October.

Don't know where you bought it from but they are not regulated , nics instant check is all that is required . MSP does not do the instant check they are called into the feds .

Isn't a AR7 a rifle? It's got a buttstock

An AR7 is not regulated so your FFL made you wait for no reason. I mean in some cases it's close enough to play it safe and I would say no foul but this isn't even close.

Not surprised. Bass Pro made me wait for the Browning pump I bought from them. Did you buy this .22 from a big box store?

Well this BS is getting old quick! I went to Dicks in Timonium yesterday to buy a Ruger 10/22. YES they do have them in stock and not Rape me prices! $250.00 +tax wood stock!

Well I figured ok this is a piece of cake.. wrong! I filled out the paper work and they called in to NICS and they told me there is some sort of DELAY!!!! im like WTF! well I called today and still no news! this BS with the MSP is now affecting cash and carry guns sales too!

F*** GoV Omalley, F*** all the Traitor DEMS! And F*** all the Pussies that wont speak up for 2A rights!

MSP has nothing to do with NICS instant checks at all. Those go through the FBI.

Most likely NCIS is swamped with calls and the computers are busy. Being in IT, I would guess they are performing periodic maintenance. I'm sure the NCIS system is heavily tasked with the amount of purchases throughout the US.

I bought it in Timonium, it wasn't Continental Arms fault, it was due to the instant check.
The rifle is a simple 8 round Survival rifle nothing fancy. I've been delayed before on a shotgun purchase - it's just a pain in the backside to be singled out every time I want to make a purchase.

Next will be a 45 Cal. Handgun probably a Ruger SR45. Anyone have experience with one? Or maybe A SR1911...

First off this gun is not regulated now and will not be affected after SB281 takes effect. Secondly, in you next post you make it sound like your NICS check came back with a hold. This has nothing to do with the State of Maryland. So what happened? Did they make you fill out the Md. Form 77 for a regulated firearm or did the NICS Instant Check come back with a hold?

It's not the gov'ts fault in your case. It's a Dick's problem. Do a search and you'll see that a lot of folks here have been delayed buying stuff from Dick's.

Well I still say F*** Owemalley!

I dont think so, my wife just bought a 10/22 the other day @ Dick's White Marsh and she is out the door in 10 min...

Bought a Marlin .22 XT at Dick's in Bel Air yesterday. 10-15 minutes tops.

It was on NICS hold , probably due to my background being checked by Secret Service when I did work at the Treasury years ago...no MD form 77.

I had a ar-7, neat gun

it did not like cci mini mag - the bullet was too powerful, it went into automatic when it slammed the bullet in the chamber

sold the rifle. try different ammo in it

Yes, that actually seems to happen quite a bit to folks with past clearances.

Where I come from the AR going auto is a "feature"

The manual says don't use subsonic ammo because it may not cycle properly, it sounds like it might be a bit picky.

There was a bunch of gun shows last weekend...wonder if the servers were swamped????

I'm in So Md but I purchased a Marlin .22 magnum bolt action rifle at WalMart and was delayed for 8 days .

Bought a 12 gauge shotgun a month later and the same thing happened , 9 day delay . This was in Jan and Feb. 2013.

Last month I bought a .22 GSG MP-5 copy in the state of Va .and walked out the door with it after a 15 minute wait .

No rhyme or reason and the clerk could give me no answers . I am trying to buy all the firearms I can afford before June .

I figure as we get closer to Oct. 1st this will get worse . I was told we are allowed to purchase the soon to be banned firearms up to Oct. 1st BUT if you don't tale possession before Jan 1st 2014 the purchase is null and void .

If this is true I can see them delaying thousands of potential buyers and stringing them along until Jan 1st stopping all those from obtaining their firearms . I haven't seen this in writing BUT it wouldn't surprise me one bit .

Does anyone plan on buying regulated firearms after Oct 1st ? I can't see having to jump through the new regulations once in effect .
