Wait time for Background checks in Oregon

[arakboss]

I did a transfer today. Took all of 5-minutes.

Lucky you, lgs near me said it was 1600 deep around 3pm today

 

[asiparks]

Did 2 transfers at Pawn4more on Tuesday and Thursday this week- about 10 mins each time.

So let's ask @LuckySG ...

What are you seeing for extended background check response times?

 

[Xrperry]

Bought 2 22 rifles in the last few days, less than 10 minutes.bought a kimber custom 2 in Cheney Washington, took ALMOST 2 months!

1642 is the line right now if you get thrown in it. Has not slowed down yet today.

But is there a pattern or reason why some approvals are instantaneous, while the number of folks waiting is otherwise lengthy?

I have not been given the recipe for the secret sauce, but have some theories. First, if your full name is rather unique you stand a fair chance of not needing to reviewed by a human. I suggested a few days back to a forum member for $75 he could change his name to Shootsogood Longrange McSteel and be guaranteed to not wait in line with the feds, he declined. Some people like the line. Second, make sure you list everything exactly as it matches your ID provided, and remember the suffix Junior!

 

[Ura-Ki]

6/5/2020, wait was exactly 25 hours

Was over 1000 ahead of me when I hit the button!
Orygun is so screwed up, why should the BGC system be any different!

LOL. What would you suggest I choose for unique name?

What? With Shootsogood Longrange McSteel still up for grabs? Do it!

 

[WAYNO]

Funny Jeremy would mention names...

My middle name, I've never in my life seen anybody else with it, spelled the way mine is spelled, and, my last name is two parts, with a space between them, not unlike a past President with the last name of Van Buren. So I suppose my name is unique.

 

[GlockFan1990]

Went to Curts last weekend to pick up a BCM rifle, was 120ish give or take in line approved instantly yet again.

 

[kenboy]

Hm, and with the unique name of Ura Ki I'd think you'd be done quickly?

 

[JRuby]

When i did transfer of a rifle on Friday around noon I was number 1187.in the line for bgc. Got called around 2:00pm yesterday 6/6 saying I was approved for pick up.

 

[jp1985]

I went to buy another gun today and the BGC line was 3 days long the guy who sold me the gun said that due to everyone panic buying its clogging up the BGCs. I have never had to wait 3 days before! I bought another one last week and it was 5 hour wait time which is long enough, but not 3 days!!!

Anyone else in the same boat?

This is crazy.

 

[kbf64]

depends on your name, if you have an uncommon name like mine you usually get instant.

 

[jp1985]

I have nothing wrong that would be holding me up in line either. I have my Oregon CHL and my Utah as well, so i know its not just something bad on my end.
He said its because of all the panic gun buyers right now.

If that's the case, I'm changing my name to: "Seymore Butts"
