In the US, it varies by what you're buying. For a Title 1 rifle or shotgun, the background check may take anywhere from a minute to several hours, depending on how busy NICS is. For a handgun, it varies by state.. in some states, it's no different than purchasing a long gun. Others might have a permit system, which can take a week or more. For transferable NFA items (full auto weapons, short barreled rifles and shotguns, suppressors, etc.), you'd be looking at three months or more.
