Its really not unusual for there to be some errant records etc that are requiring a more manual search, therefore causing the delay. It can simply be a flag showing something happened but they have to make calls to find out that the something is now a nothing.

As an FFL it is at our discretion as to whether we sell it on or not, its completely our choice and for safety sake many just will not move until NICs comes back. I have some customers i know are good and its things like military clearance holding them up, so i do that after the 3 days but if i don't know you and haven't cleared you before i generally hold too.
