Handgun shipment showing delayed, “pending release from a Government Agency”- what the hell??

[Mark W.]

Could be worse you could wait 61 days for your single shot rifle designed in 1885 to show up that you laid out $1,500 for that took an Act of your state legislator to get freed up because OSP made an internal mistake that was a bunch of fun

Hmmm I wonder is this is a neurotic person at UPS that triggered this? I had some uppers (just uppers, no receivers or other parts) being delivered by FedEx and the driver did not deliver it. They went from "out for delivery" to "security issue- delayed". It was held up for a week for no apparent reason other then the driver must have been a neurotic or lazy and didn't want to deliver it.

MAJOR UPDATE!! Good news and bad news . . .

Good news: I checked and saw my Staccato got delivered to FFL. So I called over and asked if before they unboxed it to do the inventory, if they could take a look at the box/tape/packaging it came in to see if it was opened or tampered with/inspected in any way. They went and found it, and said that it looked like the box appeared unopened, tape was not visibly or obviously cut or tampered with, and no markings or stickers. So possible that the "Government Agency" either detained the whole truck/shipment, or they used scanning technology. Either way, glad to hear the the box wasnt opened and the Staccato wasnt pawed at by some guberment smuck . . .. ;-)

Bad news: THE STREAK IS OVER! After 25 YEARS of buying hundreds of guns, I have always an instant approval. NOT TODAY. BACK OF THE QUEUE, which is now over 300. Apparently FFL said that the queue has been mostly just sitting there all day, stacking up. So looks like i have to wait ANOTHER day for the Staccato. Sigh.

Maybe my elusive "Government Agency" that already delayed my shipment by a day read this forum post and made an insider call to the NICS team working today and told them to shut it down. This is starting to feel very personal "Government Agency". . . ;-)

I always try to look at the bright side.. this will now give you a chance to de-lint its velvet pillow.








Lool!

Sad that the federal government can open a private shipment without a warrant.

Is it legal though? It wasn't USPS. And the ATF has been doing a lot of illegal stuff lately. Well, I should say more illegal stuff to gun owners since Brandon took office.

Mass did or does this - required cases for registration of the gun so they could compare to cases left at a crime scene - IIRC.

A number of S&Ws I have bought had these - their HQ is in Mass.

So an aftermarket barrel makes the gun untraceable!? Lol.

AFAIK, the forensics involves marks/etc. left on the base of the cartridge - so no, not quite?

Either way, a person could get an aftermarket slide/barrel and toss it if they used it in a crime.

Similarly, I have guns listed on a 4473 as 9x19 caliber, but I also have .40 S&W barrel/slide combos - ditto with .357 SIG and .22LR

Well now you are trying to use "common sense". The places that passed the law that the new gun sold has to have a spent case given to the Police were made by people devoid of ANY common sense.

FINAL UPDATE: HUZZAH!! Background Check cleared after almost exactly 24 hours, which means they processed a little over 300 in those 24 hours. Picked the gun up and brought it home, finally after its long and arduous journey through thick and thin, hell and "Govermnent Angency", she is finally home. Im sorry Baby for the things the feds put you through, tell me where the bad mans hurt you . . . ;-)

Took this boring picture- new Staccato C2 gun day!
