  1. It wouldn't necessarily hurt having the original court order and as you mentioned, it's only good for 2 years. However, I do find it interesting that the person handing out the permit is giving information that is counter to what the actual court order states. For me (just my opinion), I'm going to carry a copy of the court order as I can show explicitly from the order that a copy is sufficient. With my luck, if I carried the original order, it would find it's way into the washer / dryer which is too painful to even imagine. lol
  2. Appreciate the reply and good point on handing over one's phone. It's convenient to have the docs stored electronically but you're in a predicament if you actually need it to record the conversation or need to call. The permit itself isn't the most convenient size to have in your wallet so not a bad idea to have a separate bill-fold to carry the permit and the court order.
  3. Abbreviated timeline: 8/1 - Submitted paperwork to local PD. 8/29 - PD indicated no issues from references and application will be submitted to prosecutors. 9/27 - Received letter from Monmouth County prosecutor that 'applicant appears to be in compliance with all requirements...' and application sent to Judge. 10/17 - Court order approving application.
  4. No, there are no stipulations regarding carrying in a vehicle. Only the 'sensitive area' restriction.
  5. Just received a copy of the court order granting my permit (Monmouth County, expiration Oct 2024) stating to pick up at my local PD. The court order specifically identifies the 2 handguns I qualified along with the 'typical sensitive areas', e.g. schools, gov buildings, polling places, etc, where it's not allowed. Interestingly, the court order states I have to carry a copy of the court order along with the permit. I presume having a pdf copy or pics of the court order on your phone should suffice (assuming you have your phone while carrying)? Have others had this stipulation on their court order?
  6. That's unexpected positive news on the restrictions .... now, just wish I heard something from Monmouth County on my PTC packet.
  7. I'm in Monmouth County and in a similar situation. The PD submitted my packet to the Court on 8/29 and my money order cashed this week but haven't heard anything.
  8. I'd like to know as well; only info I've heard is just rumor that the judge for Monmouth County wasn't approving any permits due to no clear guidelines on weapons qualification (again, just rumor). I turned in my packet on 8/8 and all references contacted as of 8/25. Keeping my fingers crossed.
  9. I used relatives for all three references (wife and 2 brother-in-laws); the Boro PD sergeant contacted all three and didn't seem to have any issues with them as references. I also list relatives as references for the pistol permits so I presume there should be no issue for PTC.
  10. I'm in Monmouth County; dropped off my packet at my Boro PD on 8/8. Hoping the info on the judge is just a rumor; otherwise, it may be a long wait for us.
  11. Did a double-take when TGC news mentioned the MODMAT SBF + NJ legal, aptly described as "succulent freedom", LOL. Order Placed!
  12. Long overdue thanks to Jack for 20+ transactions. Great customer service and if something isn't right, he'll work with you to make it right. Thanks again!
  13. That's correct ... I can't see the pin but there is a noticeable hole.
  14. The dealer said he'll ask the gunsmith to take a look at the pinning to ensure the pin doesn't protrude through the barrel and there's no burrs left by the hole. Admittedly, I'm somewhat bummed this happened. If the pin should move, I presume the pin would blow out of the muzzle brake from the gas pressure and hopefully not into the barrel. Again, I'm no gunsmith so I could have this all wrong. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts and insights!
  15. Thanks JohnnyB! Gotta love the flow charts!
  16. Thanks to everyone who responded ... I'm somewhat conflicted on this pinning technique since I haven't encountered it before. I agree that mistakes can happen. If this technique is acceptable practice, I don't want to make waves and slander a vendor unnecessarily (especially since I just joined the forum). However, I do get the sense that this technique is not the norm so I plan on going back to the FFL / gunsmith and ask about the pinning.
  17. Would the Steyr 40th anniversary rifle be considered ok (assuming the flash hider is replaced with a permanently attached muzzle brake)? According the website, the stock will be factory marked 40th Anniversary STG77 and not "A.U.G." Or does this fall into the "substantially identical"? http://www.pjs-steyraug.com/STG77.html Thanks for the assistance!
  18. True. I have no idea whether or not the hole would affect accuracy since I haven't shot it. As I mentioned, I'm not sure if it would affect the function or accuracy. My question was whether or not this method of pinning was ok. Based on the response thus far, I presume the preferred method is to drill into but not through the barrel.
  19. Thanks Ian ... I wasn't sure if the hole that cut through the rifling would affect the function or accuracy. Admittedly, I haven't shot the rifle yet to confirm. Just wasn't sure if it would be ok to shoot.
  20. Hello everyone, New member to the forum and I hope this is the correct place to post this question. Apologies in advance for the long post. I recently purchased a VEPR (see attached pic) and had a local NJ FFL / gunsmith pin the muzzle brake to the barrel. After inspecting the rifle, I noticed there is a hole drilled through the barrel wall into the bore where the barrel is pinned. The pin doesn't protrude into the barrel but there is a noticeable hole inside the barrel. The FFL indicated that this shouldn't affect the firearm but I'm not so sure. I've had barrels pinned from other gunsmiths and the drilling only went into the barrel and not through the barrel into the bore. Admittedly, I'm no gunsmith so I'm looking to the collective wisdom of the forum on whether this type of pinning is ok. Thanks!
