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.
