A buddy of mine went to buy a pistol and he was told there will be a delay on the approval.

He was arrested 3 years ago for Retalation, but was never indicted or convicted.

He was arrested and that's all.

Can he legally purchase or will the ATF not approve?

FBI handles the background checks, not ATF
