The Oregon instant back ground check simply uses state employees doing the NICS check. The dealer calls into the state offices and the state employee initiates a NICS check online. It can take hours depending on how many state BG check employees are working that day and if there is a gun show is going on in Portland. The dealer retains records of the sale . In any case if the sale does not go through because the buyer is flagged by NICS the dealer has to transfer it back the same way to the original seller . If the seller fails the BG check the gun cannot be transferred.
I disagree.
The info that is passed to the OSP is not the same info that is passed in a NICS check.

By federal law the FBI can't maintain a registry and gun SN's are not transferred in a NICS check. Gun SN is passed in an OSP background check and that info is retained.
Know your state laws. That's where the hammer falls.
