i recently had an interesting experiance... i was attempting to purchase an m1 garand from cmp, got all my paper together plus a money order, fired it off to anniston. a few weeks later got an email saying my paper work was in order and my order was being forwarded to sales. well im celebrating , thinking i would soon have my gun. than a couple week later i get another email saying my order was being canceled and my money refunded. it appears the fbi nics had not approved nor disapproved my purchase but had delayed it. im now in the process of trying to get this stright.... damn big mess... im innocent....
