NJ is not part of the US!!! Not sure why the CMP didn't get these? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kc17 622 Posted June 2, 2021 You don't think these will be available to NJ residents? No mention on the Midway site about any shipping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyB 4,289 Posted June 2, 2021 They were banned because in 1967 some friendly African Americans were conducting a peaceful protest and they accidentally entered The Plainfield Machine Company and while there, borrowed 46 fully automatic M1s and handed them out to the crowd. They forgot to give them back and most of them are still missing to this day! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,569 Posted June 2, 2021 I've been getting them from Classic Firearms already for transfer. Got an Inland and Quality so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screwball 483 Posted June 2, 2021 I picked one up when I transferred my C&R to ME… nice to have an “assault weapon” shipped right to my house. It was an Inland, rebuilt by Miltech. Flip safety, flat top bolt, and bayonet lug… nothing too out of the ordinary. My father liked it when he came up to visit, since he worked for GM in Linden for 30+ years. Its a nice little rifle, but not something I’m buying more than one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

siderman 1,131 Posted June 4, 2021 These look too early to have any Jersey built ones from the PMCo. Was going to be my first firearm purchase here in FL (a Jersey one, just because...) but got pricey so on hold. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not CMP, but PMCo, Plainfeild Machine Co but can see the confusion. Wanted one not just as a fuck you NJ thing but I used to live 5mins from that place.

Screwball 483 Posted June 4, 2021 Question, is that Malcolm X in that picture? I know he had a shot in that movie with one, but didn’t know how historic it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyB 4,289 Posted June 5, 2021 I am quite certain that given Malcolm X's stature at the time that he was surely given a full auto rifle. They were not playing around during those times! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Closed for good. After the armory was hit, became a shooting gallery! Newark never recovered, I worked there until 08. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheflife15 454 Posted June 5, 2021 Can someone give me a quick history lesson here as to what happened at the Plainfield machine company? I live in dunellen. Is this during the 1967 plainfield riots? This is way before my time but I had no idea of the history of this area. Just did some more reading. Now it makes so much more sense. I'd always look at some of the houses and wonder how such large and sometimes nicely done houses are so cheap. I never knew the history of why it went downhill.

JohnnyB 4,289 Posted June 5, 2021 Yes Chef. It was during the Plainfield riots that they accidentally broke into the PMC and borrowed the machine guns. With about 40 rifles still missing today, they could get them back again if they offered say a $5,000 reward and no questions asked to turn them in. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
