This may be old news to some of you, but we are just starting to see it here. IF you are 18,19, or 20 years old, the ATF is "delaying" your purchase of long gun or shotgun for 10 days +/-.
Example: Neighbor kid that is 19 purchased the SA 2020 Waypoint in 6mm Creed. Arrives at the FFL yesterday. He goes in, fills out the paperwork, and it comes back "delayed". This individual is clean as a whistle and does not have a common name. Can expect the transfer to happen no earlier than December 15. He had purchased a 17 HMR a couple months ago with no issues. Gun store owner says this is relatively new and is happening to all that fit into that age group. It's a non-written "cooling off" period according to the minimal information the ATF has given him.
So, here is a good young man getting involved in our sport and being messed with if you ask me. He's disappointed as you can imagine, but has accepted it. I'll post when it actually goes through.
