My latest purchase was a Walther P22 - for instructing my granddaughter - about a month ago, at the local gun range (I've been a member for a year now, and they know me well).
The FBI replied "no response" to my NICS background check, and they instructed the range to decide whether or not to sell me the pistol (which they did after the 72 hour waiting period).
An odd experience, but similar to the delay you endured...
