Thought I'd update everyone who bothered to chime in: I completed the Colorado NICS Appeal paperwork with supporting copies of court documentation from Illinois demonstrating that no conviction was ever entered on my record, and that the arrests have been removed from Illinois databases. Colorado Bureau of Investigation returned the documents to me with a letter saying that the Colorado database has now been updated to approved, and that I can make my purchase, and shouldn't have any problems purchasing in Colorado in the future.

I've read some real horror stories about people getting denied and ending up bogged down in paperwork and waiting 6 months for a reply to their NICS, but in my case the people at CBI were actually pretty helpful and prompt in getting me squared away. Thanks to all for the advice and comments.
