Fostech Echo trigger illegal in NJ

[Rob0115 1,105]

I received a note from Fostech that my trigger is ready to ship but they cannot ship it to me because I live in NJ. Well they made a mistake because they didn't check that shipping and billing addresses were different. However the point is they were very clear that any firearm that can expend more than one round per trigger press is illegal in NJ and cut and paste the statute into the note.

Robert,

 

Your Echo Trigger is ready to ship, however, we are no longer allowed to ship to your state. FosTecH cannot be relied upon to provide legal advice, and nothing in this message should be relied upon as legal advice. Legal questions and requests for legal advice should be directed to a qualified attorney in your area.

 

With the ever-changing wave of state and local firearms laws and regulations, individuals and local federal firearms licensees are typically in the best position to know what firearms and accessories can and cannot be sold in their particular locations and, if they can be sold, how and to whom. Depending upon your location, an FFL may not be permitted to carry for sale all FosTecH products, and FosTecH has restricted its direct sales to preclude sales to individuals in certain states. For example, some states have instituted definitions, etc., that are more stringent than federal law and, as a result, the Echo Trigger® may be prohibited or subject to increased regulation in some such states. Moreover, other states have enacted other types of laws that do or may bear on the legality of some products. As such, FosTecH may, from time to time, restrict the sale of its products in various locations.

 

It has come to FosTecH’s attention that certain states may have an issue with The Echo Trigger®. While The Echo Trigger® is not, standing alone, a firearm, some states may deem a firearm with The Echo Trigger® installed to be a machinegun. Such states that have come to our attention are as follows:

 

New Jersey: Machinegun definition includes a firearm not requiring the trigger to be pressed for each shot. See, NJAC 13:54-1.2.

North Dakota: Machinegun definition includes a firearm not requiring the trigger to be pressed for each shot. See, NDCC Chapter 62.1-01.

Oregon: Machinegun definition includes a firearm allows two or more shots to be fired by a single pressure on the trigger device. See, ORS § 166.210.

Washington: Machinegun definition includes a firearm not requiring the trigger to be pressed for each shot. See, RCW § 9.41.010(15).

 

If you are from one of these states and would like a full refund, FosTecH will provide such immediately. Conversely, if you have someone from another state who would like to take your place in line, FosTecH will facilitate that as well. Please understand, however, that if you elect to have someone else take your place in line, you are responsible to ensure that you do not take possession of and/or utilize The Echo Trigger® in any way that would be a violation of the law of any state or municipality.

 

We thank you for your support of FosTecH and the American firearms industry, and we look forward to serving your needs for many years to come.

 

If you have any questions please give us a call in the office.

such bullsh*t!   dont u have a house in FL to ship to?   

if they give u any lip, i would love to take ur place in line and ship to FL, as well!

[Rob0115 1,105]

Yes that was where I wanted it shipped anyway. I preordered so long ago that they must have assumed ship to billing address when that's not what I wanted.

[Sota 1,191]

so call and tell them.

this is why I'm getting a PA ship-to address soon.

[Rob0115 1,105]

Yeah I sent her a note that they read the order incorrectly.

[CageFighter 236]

damn......i coulda had an Echo!

[Rob0115 1,105]

They are going for a lot of dough on gunbroker.

According to FosTecH no you don't.

[My1stGlock 144]

According to FosTecH no you don't.

 

Do you plan on manipulating the M16 BC or just drop in and go?

[Indianajonze 379]

it does say pretty clearly that they won't ship to nj on their site

Thanks but OP also has residence in Fl and I was just curious about the product since I watched the video. I have no intentions of getting one in NJ.

You do not have to use their bolt carrier, but if you use a std bolt carrier it will need

to be modified to work with the hammer lock properly................

I did, it's their mistake on shipping address versus billing address.

That's recent from what I can tell.

[Shane45 807]

Rgr that.

[Rob0115 1,105]

I should have my trigger Thursday.  

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

Looks like a fun-as-hell trigger from their video!

We need a range report after you install it

[Rob0115 1,105]

OK, I got my FosTech setup, I bought it with BCG, and I'm going to try and run it in my 300 blackout SBR, subsonic , supressed--in other words a deep expression of my being repressed in NJ rifle.

As close to nirvana as the Feds allow. Shiznit!

[Rob0115 1,105]

Ugh what a horrible device. It made me expend 120 rounds of ammo in the blink of an eye. Ok, I'm bullshitting, it was really cool, but it's going to cost a lot to keep it fed.
