Anyone know if there is a NJ compliant model?

Always wanted an ar pistol but These types of weapons are never light enough for nj laws... the experts will chime in...

cannot have a hand guard on it and needs to meet a certain weight. there is 1 ar style pistol that i know of that fits it is a bushmaster carbon 15 type 97 i believe.

Yeah I think its basically a no-go for all intents and purposes...the Bushmaster Carbon one is often touted as NJ legal but I think it would be said it violates the spirit of the law and I can see NJ's finest making you a guest of their hotels based on it.

 

I have got out of 5.56 and sold my AR and mags back in September (I know I know, if I only knew. But hey. What can you do right? No complaining I will just enjoy the awesome firearms i have now other than the AR etc.) and when I was still in, and was thinking I wanted to go all in on 5.56 and collect ARs, I wanted a SIG AR Pistol real bad. I thought it could make an ExCELLENT PDW type weapon ... since we can't have any SBR type weapons (Which is a real dream of mine to be honest) I thought, an AR Pistol , with some creative accessorizing of the furniture and sights, and a stock-area-sling swivel , you could carry it on a single point Magpul MS-type sling ,and discreetly have a ton of firepower come SHTF. When you think about it, having a powerful small package of a good SIG 516 type AR-P, say you have 30rds of decent expanding type ammo in it, and maybe exrta mag in your pockets etc, and carried on a sling with a jacket over top, you would be extremely well armed come SHTF etc.

 

Now I am in full awareness, this isn't allowed around here nor is any SHTF situation like that ever going to happen- but I like to come up with plans because thinking is both Free of charge and keeps you sharp, keeps your brain exercised,- and of course if and when it comes down to it, Chance Favors the Prepared Mind.

Sig 516 pistol is too heavy, even if you make the other stuff compliant on it

They look like a lot of fun, to bad we can't get them in NJ. My buddy in Georgia has one that he converted to a SBR and he likes it. Thanks for the responses.
