Guns from an outside source are handled differently than firearms you order online. They are handled by a single specialist that scours sources to find exactly what you need. When it is received at the store, in addition to the normal ATF compliance checks it must be reviewed by the specialist to ensure that they received exactly what was ordered, and that all the paperwork checks out. If the firearm comes in on a Thursday, and goes through normal receiving processes, it may not be ready for the specialist to review until Monday. It is indeed a process, but they do it to protect both you and their company. Special order firearms are just that, special. And most retailers don't mess with them. Cabela's goes above and beyond to offer that process.
