The price is so good I was trying to order one as a gift for someone and when I tried to check out, my preferred FFL wasn’t listed in the dropdown menu. I reached out to him and asked if he’d do the transfer and he told me that because of NM’s new 7-day waiting period that starts on the 15th, he’s no longer offering transfers as a service because of the additional insurance costs he’d incur having to store so many random guns for other people. Everyone else around here was closed already since it’s a Sunday so I couldn’t find a transfer dealer. Now the guns are out of stock. I signed up to be notified when they’re back. Hopefully the price doesn’t change.

In IL they considered the clock to start when you paid for the item, so for a transfer FFL their 72 hour wait was almost always already satisfied by the time the gun arrived.

The statute isn’t specific as to when the clock begins. Here’s the full text of NMSA 30-7-7.3:

A. A waiting period of seven calendar days shall be required for the sale of a firearm and the transfer of the firearm to the buyer. The seven-calendar-day waiting period shall include the period required to conduct a federal instant background check; provided that, if the seven-calendar-day waiting period has expired without the completion of a required federal instant background check, the seller shall not transfer the firearm to the buyer until the federal instant background check is completed. If the required federal instant background check has not been completed within twenty days, the seller may transfer the firearm to the buyer.

B. The firearm shall remain in the custody of the seller or the federal firearms licensee performing the federal instant background check during the entirety of the waiting period.

C. Unlawful sale of a firearm before the required waiting period ends consists of the transfer of ownership, possession or physical control of the firearm from the seller to the buyer before the end of the required seven-calendar-day waiting period, but does not include temporary possession or control of a firearm provided to a customer by the proprietor of a licensed business in the conduct of that business.

D. Each party to an unlawful sale of a firearm before the required waiting period ends is in violation of this section and may be separately charged for the same sale.

E. Each firearm sold contrary to the provisions of this section constitutes a separate offense under Subsection C of this section.

F. Two or more offenses may be charged in the same complaint, information or indictment and shall be punished as separate offenses.

G. Whoever violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.

H. The provisions of this section do not apply to the sale of a firearm:
(1) to a buyer who holds a valid federal firearms license;
(2) to a buyer who holds a valid New Mexico concealed handgun license pursuant to the Concealed Handgun Carry Act;
(3) to a law enforcement agency;
(4) between two law enforcement officers authorized to carry a firearm and certified pursuant to federal law or the Law Enforcement Training Act; or
(5) between immediate family members.

I. As used in this section:
(1) "firearm" means any weapon that will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosion; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; and includes any handgun, rifle or shotgun; but shall not include an antique firearm as defined in 18 U.S.C. Section 921(16), a powder-actuated tool or other device designed to be used for construction purposes, an emergency flare or a firearm in permanently inoperable condition; and
