Rock Island was recently audited and changed their policy on picking up guns to meet the Illinois law for C&R and modern guns -- a 72 hour wait period. I also noticed that they have limited what they designate an antique when some of those guns are clearly made before 1898. They are careful to the exact minute on when you can pick up a gun. Obey the law. Can't say I blame them, but it's irritating.
