There is a lot of confusion in this thread.
NICS and a 4473 are two entirely different things.
4473's are a firearm transaction record and kept for 20 years (by the dealer) after which they may be destroyed. If the dealer discontinues business he turns over his remaining 4473's.
NICS checks are the background check required by the Brady law. Checks that result in a "Proceed" are erased at the end of the NICS business day (midnight Central time)
"Delayed" transaction information is stored until the transaction status changes to a "Proceed"....then erased at the close business.
If the "Delay" results in a "Denied" or is Denied outright the transaction information is kept permanently.
