Windham Weaponry - NJ Compliant Upper

Recommended Posts

I've been reading a lot of good things about windham and I'm considering this upper from them to finish my build.  For $600 I'm sure many of you could piece together something much better, but I know for some the idea of buidling, torquing, and correctly headspacing an upper might seem dangerous or unreliable (plus no warranty).

 

It comes NJ-compliant right out of the box with a shaved bayo lug and a modified A2 bird-cage (extra slots cuts out on the bottom) that's listed as a compensator for NJ.  For $600 it's pretty pricey for a basic carbine length 5.56 upper but from what I hear windham's customer service is on par with Springfield Armory.  Windham also installs any component you order from them for FREE.

 

Within the $600 range I'm looking at this and the spikes tactical mid-length that'll require some shaving, pinning, and welding.

 

What do you guys think?

I have a windham AR. Great gun. Not one issue with it at all. The birdcage doesn't have extra slots on the bottom, it's considered a muzzle break cause it's a closed end. Same size hole as the bullet. All around it is basically mil-spec, but the buffer tube is commercial.

 

I would buy one again, thinking about buying their AR-10 they just came out with.

Www.cbarms.com has a SabreDefense upper with BCG for $539... They have others for $399 without the BCG but include decent free float handguards instead of those throw away M4 ones everyone spends another $100 to replace... To you can add the BCG for $125 + the $$399 =$525 and you are done...

Couple dollars in compliance and far better setup.

when you add in the cost of the compliance, handguards etc, you will be over his $600 target but otherwise I agree that BCM makes damn fine products

    • So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law. 
    • I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.
    • Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area.  You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation.  Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location.   More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection.
