Ok then......I didn't think it was illegal but, wanted to get some opinions. Thank you all for your help!

I have been wanting to purchase a lever action 22 rifle. My problem is I can't figure out if it is allowed in N.J. The magazine capacity law is unclear. On one hand the law states any assult weapon with a magazine capacity of more than 15 rounds is illegal. Ok, I understand that. Most 22 lever action rifles are tubular feeds that can hold 15 rounds of 22 L/R , but then can also hold longs and shorts which ups the tubular capacity to either 20 or 25 rounds. It is clearly not a semi-auto and I don't see how it can be an assult rifle. One FFl dealer says I would run into a problem because of the longs and shorts it could hold. Does anyone know the law concerning this?
