Is my new Bushmaster legal in NJ???

[JohnnyB 4,322]

I just purchased a Bushmaster A4 from a South Jersey gun shop.  

Per the list below that I found on this forum. "Bushmaster assault rifle" is listed as banned!

I this is true, How could they sell it in NJ????

 

It also has a fore grip that is part of a Surefire light setup. Is this also legal or is the fore grip considered as another bad "feature"?

 

Thanks for your advice.

I'm pretty sure your Bushmaster doesn't say 'AR' on the lower receiver, therefore it would be legal

Actually, it is an XM15-E2S and it sure looks like an assault rifle.

A Bushmaster Assault Firearm was a specific model that you do not have. What you have is legal.

IIRC, This is the banned rifle.

Mine is way cooler looking than that thing! and the serial # ends with 666. One thing I DON'T like about the rifle!

Heck, Half would be $805.00 and that was for a used rifle!

No, Bob's Little Sport Shop. It's fully loaded with a Trijicon reflex site and many other top of the line extras. I hope I did not get ripped off. I can post a picture. I would welcome any advice if any of you think I payed more than it's worth! I know little about the AR's so I welcome your input.

[brocglock23 4]

Well if it's fully loaded. Pictures are always welcomed. We like pictures

I have not not yet figured out how to post pics here yet.

Here are two links to pics in my drop box.

Haha, hope that's a 15/30 mag.....stock is fixed, bayonet lug is removed, muzzle break is pinned and welded?

I think that all keeps you legal

What is the 5 digit order # on the box end or UPC sticker on the hardcase?

I don't understand what you are asking for.

I saw no sticker on the hard plastic Bushmaster case and the gun did not come in a  box.

[PK90 3,570]

Did they give you the original box? Is there a UPC sticker on the black hard case? If so, there is a 5 digit order # on them.

I did not get the original box and no # on the black case. I did call bushmaster with the serial # and they said it was made in 2008, has a chromed barrel and shipped originally to a gun shop in Elmer NJ.

 

What else would the 5 digit # tell us???

[PK90 3,570]

Sorry. I thought you bought it new.

[JohnnyB 4,322]

Sorry. I thought you bought it new.

Do you think I paid too much for it?

:unknw:

There was no wear to show it was fired much. With the Trijicon Reflex sight and mount and the Surefire light with grip and all the other extras I could find and priced on the net. It has at least $1,500.00 in add on toys in addition to the value of the rifle which is in near mint condition. The dealer told me $1,600.00 was a very fair price. But what do I know? perhaps I did get ripped off on this one.

 

Bob Viden has been around a long time and I trusted that I would get a fair deal from his shop. I could have been mistaken.

In the future it might be better to ask this question before you buy the gun.  Nice rifle, enjoy it
