    Default Background checks getting any better?

    Just wondering if they're getting any better, or if the CBI will now always sit on a stack of them as a make shift waiting period. Haven't heard anything in a while.

    Last I saw (couple days ago) they were still sitting around 10,000 waiting. They are processing close to 2000 a day I think but it looks like they add about another 1500 a day so they are chipping away at the numbers slowly.

    I haven't been in all that many shops, but the few I've gone to are pretty much sold out (pistols, AR's, anything that isn't a black powder rifle), I'm surprised there's enough product left to achieve 1500 new guns sold each day.

    People are buying single shot's and old odd caliber bolt actions. Just wait. Once the hard core fudds realize they want EVERYTHING a 15 day wait will seem like..............A REPOST

    I'm just guestimating so don't quote me on that. It just seemed like they were doing around 2K a day but the overall number was only dropping a few hundred?

    I'm starting to think it's an artificially created wait period. I highly doubt they're getting more than a few hundred new checks per day now, and I do not believe for a second that the CBI is actually processing 2K a day. I think they're keeping it inflated so it does take 6 days now to process. Although I would love to be wrong. There is no way the panic can be sustained for long with the supply dwindling so low.

    Well as it turns out, I could have picked up my purchase last Saturday. Somebody forgot to call me. That is what I get for trying to be patient.
