There's an FBI background check required for any gun purchase from any federally licensed dealer.
During periods of low sales volumes its usually 10 minutes - 2 hours. depending on if your name is popular or not. Archimedes Link Usoro will have their background check come back a lot faster than John Smith
The last Gun i bought, during the 2020 "summer of love" the background check took 3 weeks. I bought one in 2008 at a gun show and the dealer got an answer back with in a few minutes. He called it in.
Now some states and or cities have a waiting period on top of that. sometimes it depends what you're buying. bolt action riffles versus a hand gun or modern sporting riffle.
Nevada has no waiting period. California has a 10 day waiting period. I think (I could be wrong) you have to pass your background check before you can pay for the gun. and after you pay the waiting period starts.
My guess is that the national standard would be upheld as reasonable, delayed for as long as it takes to receive a "proceed", or three days, whichever is shorter.

I bought my first gun during the summer of love -- on a saturday morning it (edit: the background check) took about 5 minutes.
Perhaps being deep in red middle america played a part.
I anticipate waiting periods will go the way of the dodo. No basis in history and tradition at the time the 2nd Amendment was drafted.
It's going to be a great few years as gun control regulations across the country fall.
