I have never been delayed. I always get put on hold when they call in, but then they come back in 5 minutes and approve it. Before I registered an NFA item it was always automatic, now they always put on hold, do not know if the two are related but that's how it worked out.
Having your rights treated like a privilege is a hell of a thing. I get delayed from time to time too. The first time it started happening a couple years ago, I fixed it by grudgingly putting my SSN on the 4473. It stopped for a while, but the last two I bought were delayed even with the SSN. I have no idea why they would delay me, unless maybe they read my forum posts and don't like the things I have to say about the federal government 
The gooberment found out your a.........barrister.... ;(
MAkes even less sense now!
Picked up my pistol at SGT Everett's today. No issues. Took me longer to fill out paperwork than for them to get the proceed.
And nothing from Academy.
But Damn I am happy with this pistol.

Just my take on it, but Academy is in the gun bidness because of the money, not for any love--or aptitude--they have for guns in general. As for the small businessman who is in the gun bidness, you can bet your bottom dollar he enjoys what he's doing. He'd better be, for he's not gonna make a whole lot of money selling guns.
Kind of along the lines of what I was thinking too, but if you are in the business, be in the business.
I was and have been thinking the guy at the gun counter fat fingered something and/or he didn't like his job. I know where I am not buying guns anymore. PSA will get more business, but I like the small shops better. Of course price does make a difference and if it is not a lot of difference will shop small first.

During a pistol purchase a few months ago, I got delayed fit the first time in 15 years. No apparent reason for it. I'm not real patient when iit comes to new toys but there's nothing you can do about it. 3 days later I walked in and the owner said I was cleared but he had forgot to call and let me know. Now that psssed me off. This was at a small local shop too, not a big box store. In fact ive bought several guns from the big stores without any delays.
Some say you're more likely to get flagged during an afternoon purchase because they are more busy then. Dont know if there's any truth to it though.

Happens all the time, you aren't special. I wonder how many $ in sales we have missed out on because of delays that are cleared within a couple hours.
I get delayed 98% of the time. No skeletons, and I have security clearance, ex military
I'm sure I'm going to jinx myself, but so far I have never been delayed. In fact, the last time I bought a gun the chic that entered my paperwork was shocked that my approval came back so fast. She said she had never seen it cone back so fast before.
