Not nearly as easy or pleasant as I'd hoped/expected. I had everything entered(picture, forms completed, link to current purchase) except my finger prints but it still took 20 minutes. Spousal unit was only luke warm on the process and it took 45 minutes to get her prints, info, and picture entered. Son went in just after we left and even his prints took 15 minutes.
My take is the scanner is problematic for the average user and does a poor job of recording prints. Out of 20 prints from two people, we only got "GOOD" scans about 40% of the 20 prints. And even after spending so much time, we have no idea if those iffy scans will be acceptable.
In March of 2017, I had prints done at the local Sheriff's office and 9 of 10 were "excellent" according to the Deputy doing the printing. I doubt that things have changed so much in 1 1/2 years.
Oh, BTW, those prints were processed and results returned to my employer in about 4-5 days so FBI isn't the hang up in the vetting process for NFA stuff(as some are claiming). My FBI background check for a security clearance to access "sensitive materials" within a Federal agency took 5 days from the time I had the prints done until I was notified I'd passed.
