NJ Serial Number Rules

[Combat Auto 174]

Folks, Anyone know if there are hard rules on firarm serial numbers in NJ - you never know in this wacki state...I am purchasing a pistol where you may specify your own serial number (I will use a name) and wondering if there are any issues with this in our "wonderful" state.

 

Thanks.

I think you are good to go. 

You might want to prepare for someone getting their panties in a wad at your local PD or the NJSP firearms unit.  But I am fairly confident the manufacturer is free to assign any serial number they choose, so long as it is unique for their line of business.

Nothing to my knowledge. Serial Number is assigned by Manufacturer according to BATFE rules, so if manufacturer says it's OK, I'd be inclined to believe it's GTG.

There's nothing in 2C:39 or 58 regarding this

As long as it is permanently marked by the manufacturer, you should be good to go.

Just remember, when you pick it up on a PPP, the top copy is the Form of Registration, so it's going to be known by the Firearms Unit in W. Trenton.

You may not want to piss them off up there with something like "F^CK NJSP"

What are you, the leader of a Mexican drug cartel?  :-D

That's got a bit of ... flourish... to it.

Wow I must have been a cartel leader in a past life because that's hot

I'll tell you as long as you don't make fun of the price? Agree?

 

Actually it is a hand-fitted, 1911 WW1 Replica, by Turnbull...Beautifull, and a "tack-driver" based on internet reports (but everyone says their guns are tack drivers :-)). So part shooter, part collector item, part heritage item (although I am not a collector per se).

I know nothing about 1911's, what would an original from that time period in decent shape cost?

Up to $10,000....I am getting a fine-replica - much much less expensive.

Choose "FThePolice1" as the SN. That should do it
