It seems some of the blame should be shared by the FFLs too. The law was written so that if the FBI dragged its feet, the FFLs can sell the weapon anyway. If the FFLs just followed the law then even if the FBI drags its feet, it only matters for a three business days.

Having said that, the FBI contacting the FFL directly and providing derogatory insinuations about the applicant without having any basis to deny the sale is wholly inappropriate and an abuse of power.

I have a friend who owns a country hardware store. He's a curious fellow as in anything he doesn't know fascinates him. If he hears something that seems a "lit'bit off" - He must pick it to death. Not to the person that bought it up but privately to himself. He will wait patiently, gather the materials and then just do his own experiments.
About 10 years ago he HAD to build a 'silencer for himself. Someone had told him there was a difference (I admit it was me.) between a silencer and the suppressor his rifle had come which.
And that was why he hadn't been required to pay a $200 registration fee for ownership. He already had his CCW so updating his background would have been easy + he was an auxiliary Deputy at the county. He read up on it, sent his $200 in and finished his application for his permission to make his own silencer.
I'm nobody special but it turned out the agent doing the NICS Process Check knew me from a stint of contract work I pulled with his battalion overseas. He called me, offered to buy me lunch if he could pick my brain.
Once he told me a little of what was going on I started laughing since I knew exactly of whom he was speaking. End result is my friend got his permission, his diagram was approved and the agent was invited for the test firing. It was a good range day.

Truth, The Duck test - If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck - must be a duck.
"If the guidance document appears to impose obligations on the regulated community, then it is a regulation and can be challenged. If it lessens obligations on the regulated community, then it is guidance and may not be challenged."
