szebrows 0 Posted March 23, 2015 Are Bump Fire/ Slide Fire stocks illegal in NJ? I've tried researching this and found everything from a U.S. Marshal checking out one on some guy's gun at a NJ range and thinking it was "cool" to the NJ Attorney General telling a friend of a friend of a friend that it is illegal. Has anyone seen anyone using these in NJ or know if the AG actually said that they're illegal? I just got a magazine in the mail with them on the cover for sale and no mention of legality.

mipafox 438 Posted March 23, 2015 I don't know if they are legal but they are pretty awesome. Of course, I don't live in Jersey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Custom Guns 956 Posted March 23, 2015 Technically the stock is not "fixed" on one position so it can be considered a telecopic stock. I do not know of anyone being charged, but I would not want to be the test case................. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szebrows 0 Posted March 23, 2015 Haha, I expected this. But seriously, these things have been out for like 5 years and marketed in major gun magazines and catalogs. I would think that someone would have been a test case by now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffsolo 1 Posted March 23, 2015 I wouldn't worry. If I remember correctly, they come with a letter stating the ATF says they're legal. All you have to do is produce the letter before you're handcuffed and everything's alright, correct? Like everyone is saying, they're kinda neat. We're all going to wait and see how it works out. Any state that can imprison you for an unloaded flintlock just don't seem that liberal to me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are missing the point! The ATF says they are legal in the sense that they (ATF) do not consider the "Bump Fire" as a full auto weapon, so they are stating they (ATF) have no issue with the stock. Now - this is New Jersey and the rules for NJ State laws overide federal, as in the ATF has no issue with a folding or collapsible but NJ does. the issue is not the Bump Fire, it's that IF they want to make a case - all they have to do is say the stock is collapsible / telescopic (which it is) and your guilty................

State law can be more restrictive, never more lenient. So, if the ATF says its legal, NJ can consider it illegal. Although, in this case NJ (may) restrict this because it telescopes. Not worth the hassle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted March 26, 2015 What exactly are you "waiting" for? The first publicized case of a New Jersey subject going to jail? This has been around for a few years now. I think in one of the first threads about this there was a statement from NJSP or NJAG or someone saying it is illegal. Anyway, if you are waiting for some NJ authority to say it is legal, how much longer you plan to wait after all this time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dpas1973 0 Posted March 27, 2015 They suck I baught one last year from slide fire and there was no paper from anyone in box. I put it on my ar and it barely worked. Nothing like the online video it only did 3 round burst no full auto so I got rid of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I've seen they work, the question is: where can you shoot it in NJ? most ranges are anal about rapid/bump fire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dpas1973 0 Posted March 27, 2015 lol I tried it only slides over your buffer tube and locks in place. I never hip fired I tried like the video showed aiming and I'm lucky if it did a 3 round burst here and there. Never any full auto action. So I sold it. I can't see how you have to know a special way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mipafox 438 Posted March 27, 2015 can't you actually just bump fire without that stock too? It's not even close. Right out of the box it's almost the same as a happy switch. And you actually hit what you are aiming at. I was surprised to find some of the apparent BS on their website is true. I am more precise with a real MG. However, the cone of fire from the slidefire is more narrow and the walk is nonexistent without even trying to control it. Not compared to deliberate, experienced action with an MG. But compared to casual shooting with little deliberate effort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted March 27, 2015 from what i've read about them, and the tac con triggers, you need to practice practice practice. You need less practice with a slidefire than you do with an MG. An MG is better, but slidefire is easier for dummies Just my opinion and experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, an MG is better but is more expensive The slide fire stock is a bargain considering a registered lightning link or DIAS can fetch over $10,000 all day. Registered receivers from Colt can command upwards of $20K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better yet, get a 07 FFL and buy samples from another FFL liquidating...no demo letter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your prices are behind the times I don't know why you would argue about a simple comment when you are obviously wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
