Im looking at getting one or 2. I was told by a local dealer that you can buy one ,but you can't legally complete the milling in nj. Is there any truth to this? I can't find any gun laws stating this.

Were you just asking about this on the hunting forum?

NJ Law prohibits citizens without a manufacturer's FFL from manufacturing firearms.  Take your 80% to another state, complete it there, and then bring it back to NJ.

 

Just to confirm, is this correct? If I buy a long gun out of state, don't I still need to have a COE if I bring it back to NJ? I'm wondering because if the COE still applies, why wouldn't law against manufactured firearms? I'm curious because I'm going to be in San Diego next month...

Possession of a homemade gun is not illegal in NJ. Manufacturing one in NJ without a license is. It's one of those weird loopholes. You don't need a COE or any paperwork which is the point of doing an 80% lower - if done right, you have a completely untraceable, legal gun.

so everyone basically agrees that its a waste of time? not worth the trouble or the risk?  

 

It may have merit if you want a truly untraceable gun, for the scenario where the Government wants to engage in mass door to door confiscation and you want to resist.

Has any one ever got caught, question, had any trouble with the authorities or anything like that with one of these?

Other than Aries Armor, not that I'm aware of. But the reason ATF gave them a hard time, was because one of the composite 80% lowers they were selling all of a sudden was deemed unsatisfactory because of a plastic insert molded in. Aries turned over all the inventory they had but refused to surrender their customer sales information. That's why the ATF raided them.

FYI, Ares is again selling composite lowers. Think an argument can be made that it's legal to complete in NJ?

 

2C:39-1

j."Manufacturer" means any person who receives or obtains raw materials or parts and processes them into firearms or finished parts of firearms, except a person who exclusively processes grips, stocks and other nonmetal parts of firearms. The term does not include a person who repairs existing firearms or receives new and used raw materials or parts solely for the repair of existing firearms.

No. There is no argument to be made. The law is pretty clear. Putting a stock on an existing firearm does not constitute manufacturing. Making a firearm out of material either metallic or polymer, is. Think of it this way, taking an item not classified as a firearm and turning it into one that is would be considered manufacturing.

There was another issue with the EP Armory lowers Ares was selling. They had the FCG and selector holes marked which is forbidden.

The Polymer 80 that they're selling now is different from the EP Armory that they got raided over.

I don't need an untraceable gun to resist.

 

When I meant resist, I didn't mean shoot.

 

I meant hide your guns so they don't know what you have.

 

With a regular purchase from a dealer or private seller there is always the chance of a paper trail (COE and 4473 for dealer sales, COE for private sale, and 4473 for the original sale). With the 80% there is nothing. If you pay cash nobody knows what you have.

I have so many already good luck finding all of them. I forget about guns that I own myself.

      Its my understanding that in NJ you may not manufacture a firearm without license to do so, even for personal ownership. 
      It was also my understanding that someone who legally manufactured a NJ legal firearm in another jurisdiction for their own nontransferable ownership and then brought that firearm into there NJ residence (serialized or not) was not in violation of any NJ laws.
      In this video murphy states "anyone caught possessing a homemade or 3D printed firearm .......... will be prosecuted  to the fullest extent of the law, up to 5 years in prison"
      I know (so called) 80% blanks and paraphernalia have been banned from sale and commercial shipment to NJ. Is murphy correct that the legislation he's gloating over here  makes what I said about bringing in a firearm you manufactured legally some where else illegal to possess in NJ or is he just injecting what he wants it to be into what it is?

      As a gun owner in New Jersey I understand the mess of laws in the state. Now that I own milsurps I'm curious is it lawful to own bayonets not carry just own (of course). If it's legal what about taking them to the range for a photoshoot. Lastly I have a question about carrying a knife mostly as a tool of course I have a Swiss knife and I used that is my tool normally and for my understanding it's under the lawful purpose clause or whatever. I was thinking about getting 3.25 in pocket knife foldable blade not assisted in any way I assume lawful I don't know if anyone's had trouble with carrying knives New Jersey other than the few court cases that's still left the wall kind of vague like New Jersey likes it. I'll probably keep carrying the Swiss pocket knife but I find that the blade may be weak for some things but I do like it's simplistic size mostly everything I would probably need for my basic lifestyle. I'm sure carrying a knife has been debated a lot in this forum before but I haven't seen anything so if you have any links or just want to give me the simple rundown I'm fine with that.

      So I've got my FID and am looking to purchase a replica MP40 airgun for target practice. This is the gun in question I'm particularly looking at https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Umarex_Legends_MP40_CO2_BB_Submachine_Gun/4312
      The gun itself is capable of full auto firing at roughly 450fps. It also includes a 52rd pellet mag. I've read up on the airgun laws and know that airguns are considered firearms under NJ state law, so does that mean every firearm law applies to airguns also or are there exceptions to them where you can purchase any airgun as long as you have an FID?
      Thanks

      Hi everyone, 
       
      I usually buy my guns at a gun store like everyone else, however this weekend Eagle Arms will be having a gun show in lake harmony PA (about 1 hour from me) and I know that prices from both vendors and gun owners are very affordable at this type of shows.
       
      Here comes the question - Can I legally buy a long gun at an out of state show and have it shipped to a gun store in NJ for pick up? -
       
      I'm planing to go either way but it will be much more fun if I can purchase something.
       
      Please let me know

      I am in the market for a second handgun and have never bought "online" before. I think I have the process down but if someone could set me straight I'd appreciate it.
       
      1.So I find what I want at the price I want online (I know gunbroker is huge but are there any other good, reliable sites?)
      2. I order it online, pay for the gun and shipping to a local FFL
      3. I call the local FFL to let them know to expect a handgun coming to transfer to me
      4. When it arrives I go to the FFL with ID and P2P in hand, pay the transfer price + NICS
      5. Walk out the door with my new pistol
       
       
      Do I have the steps right? I would prefer to buy local and help out the "little guy" but cash is a little tight right now and the pistol I'm looking at is going for $500 online (plus $25 shipping) (plus $35 transfer and NICS) so I'm looking at $560 out the door buying online vs. $550 plus 7% sales tax plus $15 for NICS at a LGS so $603 out the door at the lowest local price I could find. If it was a $5 or even $20 difference I'd eat it and help the local guy but $43 is a lot. I suppose I am also helping a local guy by paying them the transfer fee.
