There is only one waiting period associated with the NICS check, and that only if the NICS "proceed" reply is not immediate (no "deny" after 3 business days - technically, you can proceed, although many FFL's will not, out of caution for their own license). See 18 USC § 922(t)(1)(B)(ii).

So any waiting period, is a State law.
