  1. Daniel Defense, or LWRC's direct impingement rifle. Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk
  2. I've sent numerous firearms to Adco Firearms for a pin and weld. They do professional work and isn't that expensive. I just had them recently swap out a muzzle brake on my X95. Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk
  3. You pay more for freedom! Lol I thought about building one, but I already have a couple Glocks, and have too many other firearms on my short list. If I got one it would be more of a novelty. I'd like to hear if anyone built one though and how does the frame compare with an OEM Glock frame.
  4. Bringing the completed lower to the State Police or any police agency would be stupid. Most police officers don't have a clue about the firearms laws. I've asked the NJSP firearms unit about the legalities of using a bullet button (so you could keep a threaded muzzle/flash hider) and they suggested I weld the receiver so the mag is permanent. They aren't there to offer legal advice, nor are they qualified to do so. They would have to either look up the law themselves, or call the prosecutors office and run it by them. This thread reminds me of previous discussions with other NJ gun owners, when they talked about banning something or reducing the magazine capacity from 15 to 10. Guys were more worried about how to turn their stuff in rather than thumb their nose at another unconstitutional law. We have it bad enough here. If we follow the same path as NY or CA, I'm sure many will line up to hand over their stuff regardless if it was legal the week before. If you have to think about what to do with an 80% lower/frame then it isn't for you. Buy one, put it away for a rainy day. There are plenty of factory Glocks to buy or stripped AR lowers with serial numbers that will set your mind at ease.
  5. I had all three. Unless you have gorilla arms, the Manticore or IWI buttpad increases your length of pull. This is the only time the draconian laws in this communist state actually benefit me! Even if I didn't live behind enemy lines, unless I wanted to legally SBR it I'd just permanently attach a muzzle device so I could use this buttplate. The thin buttplate is definitely worth having!
  6. I'm in the People's Republic of NJ as well. It's marketed as a muzzle brake, and doesn't have any slots cut through like other flash suppressors. I think you would be fine, unless the device was specifically marketed as a flash hider. It's also marketed as reducing flash (bad) but don't know if it does or is just marketing. It doesn't have the features that other known flash hiders have. During the 1994 crime bill, I believe some manufacturers submitted their brakes to the ATF for testing, and they would get an "okay" clarification letter saying it was a muzzle brake. They don't do that any more, and the ATF has reversed positions before. So the cool muzzle brake you have on today, could magically become an evil muzzle device if the ATF changes their mind. I'd use any device marketed as a muzzle brake. Most police officers are completely ignorant about firearms and only know what they are taught, or what they look up in the criminal code book. I have called the State Police before about bullet buttons for AR's years ago and said I was trying to be compliant with the law. I wanted to add an easily reversible (non permanent) modification so I could keep a flash hider or threaded muzzle. They were short with me, and told me I could weld up the receiver so it wouldn't take a detachable magazine. They aren't there to offer legal advice, and as I said most cops don't have a clue about what's legal and what's not. A majority are anti-gun and think citizens shouldn't have CCW or "assault" weapons so don't look to them for advice in this anti-gun state. Good luck! Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk
  7. I've bought guns online and out of state, and have had them made NJ compliant before shipping to my dealer. The problem I had is paying a transfer fee twice. I had an RPK that only needed the muzzle brake, so I had to pay to have it shipped and transferred to a gunsmith, pay for the gunsmithing, then pay to have it sent to my dealer and pay for the transfer to me. Plus you have to find a gunsmith that will do the transfer and gunsmithing at a reasonable cost. Unless your dealer will do the compliance work, it's a lot of hassle. I've had some vendors cut off bayonet lugs but stopped doing it because they aren't a gunsmith, and don't want to alter a firearm then have the buyer (you) complain after being shipped to your dealer. Most sell enough firearms to free states, that they don't want to cater to NJ (even though they had previously for CA). For an AR in NJ, either build one, or find one that is already NJ compliant. Living in NJ and you never know how the laws are going to change, buy once and cry once. Whatever you own, may one day be the only firearms you are stuck with. I remember when the only thing we could own legally here (semi-auto) was an SKS and Ruger Mini 14. Then we got the Colt Match Target and the M1A back. I go to a gun store that has NJ compliant SCAR 16's and 17's, Daniel Defense and LWRC AR's, CZ BREN 805's, IWI X95's, etc. Plenty of higher end gun to choose from and not the typical cheap stuff most gun stores carry. They do their own compliance work, and don't add the cheapest muzzle brakes they can find either. I'll continue to give them my business and don't worry about minor price differences, since I'm behind enemy lines living here. As for the NJ SAFE ACT ever coming here, I've been through enough with the draconian gun laws here in my lifetime. If I bought it legal, I'm keeping it. All these gun laws are, is death by 1000 cuts. As soon as I get a chance to leave this communist state (in the near future) I'll be moving to a free state.
  8. I have a NJ legal rifle that came with 20rd Magpul magazines. The magazines were permanently blocked by the rifle manufacturer to only hold 10 rounds. They basically drilled a hole in both sides of the body of the magazine, and inserted a pop-rivet. Now you can still take the floor plate off to clean it, but the follower won't come out or go past the projecting rivets. Haven't done it yet, but I saw a company in California that was selling pieces of kydex to block the magazines. Basically you take a rectangular piece of flat kydex, and it gets inserted between the spring and the back of the magazine. Now the follower won't be able to go any farther than the kydex piece. You can get a sheet of your own kydex pretty cheap from knifekits.com. I was thinking after doing this, drill a hole in the back of the magazine through the kydex and inserting a pop-rivet. The kydex would then be permanently attached to the magazine body. Of course the rivet might interfere with the spring, so you might have to do this towards the bottom of the magazine. In case that doesn't work, just insert the kydex and drill a hole in the bottom of the magazine floor plate. Put a pop-rivet in so the floor plate can't come off, and you should be good. Years ago when the mags could be temporarily blocked, I went to home depot and got some small pvc pipe and cut it into little sections. For the M14 magazines, there was a space between the spring and the body of the magazine. You could just put the pipe in there, and put the floor plate back on. Now I would do the same and rivet the floor plate on. I'm not sure what the interior of the HK mags look like, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
