Again, that's why i stopped here..there seems to be no definitive answer other than the way its written...no mention of 'locked' mag, 'Bullet Button'..however, I DO interpret 'ability to accept' as just that, and they would be more than happy to arrest / confiscate first. And I don't have the $$ to go to court. And I can see some overzealous lawyer in court dropping that mag with a BB, and that's, well..detached, yes? I was hoping to get a definitive answer on just keeping the BB, but I guess without precedent, finding a firearms lawyer, or some other legal guarantee, it's not worth the chance. Lock stock, and pin a comp...at least that IS legal, for now. I just ordered Strike Industries stock lock, and I'm going to Dynacomp the muzzle. At least that leaves no room for interpretation or legal hassles. Then I can replace the BB if I want, or keep it. We're already 10 rds mag here so.. So how to residents 'fix' their magazines in NJ? Or just lock/pin and detachable magazine is legal, correct? By the way..the BB is now ILLEGAL in Ca...thanks to Newsom and Harris, the wannabe saviours of the free state. If Newsom gets elected Gov, their will be no 2A rights in this state at all..because that's what will get him elected. Guaranteed...he tried to do a complete handgun ban a few years ago in SF when he was mayor ( left half term of course to suit his political aspirations as Gov...), but it was overturned thanks to lawsuits. Thanks for the replies...appreciate it. I'll keep checking in ..

I absolutely agree...that's why I'm here. The laws are vague in many respects and that's done on purpose, IMO. I agree that the dynacomp/stock lock are the safest. In Ca., at least they are definitive in their wordings. there is no 'ability to accept'...so the ARMAGLOCK, and all other 'temporary' magazine locking mechanisms with rear pin devices, are legal. You break the upper, the mag drops, insert a new mag, close the upper. Fixed mag is not the same here as 'ability to accept'... using ejection port reloaders is popular, and actually faster than a mag switch but I'm sure they'll change that as well...Thanks for the input.

Yeah, bullet button is not bad...really only takes a magnet over the button to eject the mag, or anything pointy...it's not perfect but it was legal (when I bought it....) and I love the gun. What I don't like is how these politicians ( the same ones that are now writing legislation that would excuse them from sexual assault claims because 'peoples careers are at stake'...not mine, the local baker, the school teacher whose life is ruined by any accusation...but only the mighty politicians.....the same people who write bills, pass them, gut them, and replace with anti 2a laws...how is this legal???) keep changing the definition to suit their personal agendas. I can replace it if I do a featureless but I don't really like the finned grips, etc...here you have to do basically everything, which makes it not an AR IMO.

In order to sell the rifle in Ca., it has to be neutered. We have until june 30th to comply or make it a fixed mag/break the upper/lower to reload, or featureless. I'm moving before then, that's why I am looking into options. I would prefer to sell it and get a NJ compliant, but it'll cost me $$ just to make it 'sellable'. That's my understanding from research ( needs to be Ca compliant before selling, no FFL will handle it legally)....if anyone knows where I can sell it as is, I'm listening..I called the store I bought it from but keep getting the answering machine. Looking at the new bullet button, which locks the mag, but you are right in the wording..'ability to accept"...that's what has me leaning towards the dynacomp/stock lock route. Already called a gunsmith for info, I have 2 months to decide. Appreciate the replies...Thanks

That's the first somewhat sensible response I've received in 1 month of searches, visiting NJDOJ, State Police, forums, YouTube, reading, etc. there is NO mention of NJ BB, it usually gives me a lot of NY or Cali info. I am probably going to get the new BB with the three way set screw ( normal, BB, Locked, 23.95 ) and hope it passes muster. Either way ...it's a fixed mag so the evil features should be nullified. May still do the dynacomp but if its a fixed mag guessing I don't need the weld/pin. And Ca is already 10 rd max so that's all I have. thanks for checking w/ the FFL... appreciate both assessments... :-)

relatives...on a lake...my own cabin...cheap rent...and I grew up near there. Unfortunately the state is even worse than when I left but...it's home. Love Pennsy altho looks like they are pushing a weapons ban.

Appreciate the responses...very hard to get verification. I may try either the new BB that has a 3 way setting to lock the mag or make the button work, (emailed them today for verification) using a set screw setting. Also toying with one of those bolt catch release things that make it single shot. I know, defeats the purpose, but I generally single shot anyway. Better than featureless to me. Thought I'd share the propaganda in San Francisco today.. NRA members are being called ISIS and terrorists. Really getting to be ultra toxic...at what point does it end ??

Hi Just joined... Moving back to NJ after 19 years in Kalifornia ( Morris County). It's hard to get a definitive answer here or on other forums that I've READ..so I thought I'd ask. Even the DOJ or NJ State Police are vague on their websites.. I have a 'sporting' rifle (MP15T) with the Bullet Button. I know if I keep the BB or replace it with a regular mag eject, I can only have 1 feature ( has adjustable stock, flash suppressor, pistol grip). I was originally going to add a Spike's Dynacomp (pin/weld) and a stock lock or similar, and keep the grip. Question 1...if I do a Ca compliant fix like the Juggernaut Tactical Hellfighter or other solution ( fixed Mag ), am I NJ compliant as well? Question 2: Moving...I'm aware I can ship firearms to myself as long as I put my name and 'In Care Of' on the boxes...any recommended service like FedEx or UPS that others have used without hassle? Ammo as well ( UPS will do with the ORD sticker...). It's not too gun friendly here either, any suggestions appreciated, less stress as possible. Has anyone tried 'SMG'..Ship My Guns? I believe can ship to an FFL if necessary or even transport on the flight back as long as its checked, but not a great time for some mishap or screw up.. But will the sport rifle be allowed checked baggage as well? Additionally, any movers that will transport the firearms? I will also check with the major rifle organizations, but would appreciate any advice ( not expecting legal advice) Moving mid may.. Thanks...shame I have to move back at such a bad time for the 2A...
