dbclegg44 0 Posted March 19, 2014 hey guys I just moved to NJ. I wanted to hold off buying a scar until I moved here because I am aware of how strict the laws here are. I wanted to know how you would go about purchasing a scar and making it NJ legal. I was thinking buy it from gunbroker have it sent to a ffl in PA then have it transfered to NJ. Thoughts? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rightisright 3 Posted March 19, 2014 You can have it sent to an NJ FFL to do the compliance work. There are many here that can do it for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrfly3006 42 Posted March 20, 2014 Check modern weapon systems..they say on their site they will do Nj compliance work in house then send to FFL.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted March 25, 2014 First of all move back if possible. Second big fan of the 17 and there are a number of FFLs that can help you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emulzhn 5 Posted April 9, 2014 i was hoping I was gonna see more responses as I am also in the market.... specially from retailers who belong to this forum and have them in stock. I guess they maybe using other sources of media. Sorry to see this as I believe for the subscribers here, to be very well informed. Anyways, there a couple of retailers at current on Gunbroker listing them as NJ/ CA compliant. Unfortunate things is the cost is up to $3100 where un-neutered SCAR's can be purchase for $5-6 hundred less... found on Gunbroker. would the retailers explain that one? Other than making the stock fixed and disabling the side folding action, along with a 10 rd mag, are those prices justifiable ? ($3100) as oppose to average price of $2750-$2850 As far as where to get them... some NJ retailers have them listed on their FB accounts... and yes... in stock post yours when you get it...

Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 9, 2014 If you bag one on Gun Broker for the price you've outlined you can probably get someone to pin weld the muzzle and pin the stock for about 100-150 bucks. The stock PWS FSC556 is not a flash hider so you don't need a new one. Add to that the transfer cost (mostly like 65 bucks with NICS) and then you'll know if it's worth it for you. You are probably looking at saving 50 to 100 bucks to do it that. If you can find one local for 3100 that's compliant that would be the way to go.

dbclegg44 0 Posted April 22, 2014 I am actually going to be purchasing it at tjs sporting arms. I was planning to purchase it a few weeks ago but had to deal with the unexpected passing of my mother. I plan on buying it within the next two weeks. They can make it NJ complaint Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

denali-dmax 0 Posted May 13, 2014 I bought my scar 17fde for $2950 off gunbroker and paid 80 to have stock pinned and muzzle welded. The "evil black" ones usually are a $200-$400 cheaper then fde Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RTSP1 67 Posted May 14, 2014 And the cycle continues..... Yes you can by guns for less on the internet and sometimes save over 1 or 2 hundred bucks, that doesn't do scrap for the brick and mortar places that are in this fine state. Support the locals or go Internet your choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denali-dmax 0 Posted May 15, 2014 Unfortunately no one in the state had a scar when I was looking or wanted to place an order which was a couple months after new town and prices finally started to come down. Plus couple places that were fn dealers in nj said the gun is illegal and cant be ordered/modified, so only option for what I wanted was online and shipped to somebody that make it compliant.

Blake 50 Posted June 4, 2014 TJ's does some nice SCAR compliance work. Having owned a scar that was made compliant by TJs and a scar made compliant by another North NJ forum vendor who will remain nameless (bought the rifle second hand but know where it was originally purchased from) its TJs all the way. Fit and finish isnt even comparable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
