Turbotezza 1 Posted September 7, 2011 Ok, assuming these guns confirm to NJ laws, buying any one of these types of guns would require a pistol permit. I'm thinking of building one from a plain receiver. Question is, do I need a specially designated pistol receiver (If there is such a thing) and use a pistol permit on that? Or can I build/assemble one from any plain receiver without needing a permit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjf915 456 Posted September 7, 2011 I don't know the laws about building either pistol, but it looks like you would run into an issue with the SP98K because you could hold it underneath the barrel with your non-support hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turbotezza 1 Posted September 7, 2011 I did say NJ legal. I don't know the laws about building either pistol, but it looks like you would run into an issue with the SP98K because you could hold it underneath the barrel with your non-support hand.

Or can I build/assemble one from any plain receiver without needing a permit? That's a big assumption. Before doing anything else I would take a look at the factory specs for commercial versions and check the weight. In order to be Legal in Nj it would HAVE to be under 50 oz in Weight UNLOADED. That said, it SHOULD be a legal build as Recievers arent transferred as Rifles or Pistols, they are transferred as "Other". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KpdPipes 388 Posted September 7, 2011 The anwser I was looking for. Thanks. Did you pay attention to the "Check the Weight" part I posted as well??? P89 Technical Specifications Caliber 9mm parabellum Feed Mechanism Staggered magazines; 15- or 30-round capacity Operating System Delayed roller locked bolt Sight Radius 10.25 inches (260.35mm) Weight: with empty magazine 4.4 pounds (2 kg) = 70 Oz Barrel length 4.5 inches (114.3mm) Overall length 13 inches (330.2mm) Width 2.28 inches (57.91mm) Height 8.26 inches (209.8mm) If you build an SP89, unless you figure out a way to shave a full 20 oz off of it YOU ARE GOING TO BE COMMITTING A FELONY IN NJ.
