SJG 253 Posted May 24, 2017 Classic Arms has them on sale. I have no clue if they are marked M1 Carbine, if they do not say M1 Carbine on them, what do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SJG 253 Posted May 24, 2017 Hypo: Assume it does not say M! etc on it and assume that when shipped to the FFL or as modified by the FFL the magazine is fixed and cannot be removed and can be fed with ammo without removing it from the rifle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SJG 253 Posted May 24, 2017 Not sure I agree. If made as described it is not an M1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If made as described it is not an M1 the 22lr and 9mm blowback action weren't M1s either, but those aren't legal either. good luck let us all know when you get your m1 carbine in NJ lol.

Demanding to have your way AFTER one of the forum's esteemed FFL's told you "NO-Go" is, at best, immature. Perhaps you might wanna buy the real thing and play with it in Free Amerikka? If so, contact Gunsitters in Easton, PA and tell Dave Kotz I told ya to call . http://www.gunsitters.com/pennsylvania.html . Rosey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJG 253 Posted May 24, 2017 Although you may not realize it, your response is, in part, diplomatically inappropriate as is your characterization that I am demanding to have my way. which is an incorrect assumption on your part. I do not question your characterization of PK90 as an esteemed FFL, although I would put it slightly differently: " experienced" but that is not really the issue. Initially, I asked for an opinion and received one which I accept. I then asked a hypothetical question to further explore the issue which I was thinking about as lawyers sometimes do. Perhaps you should read what you write before you click the send button which is an issue with email and text transmission. I would not respond to another forum members post, in part in a nasty manner even if I disagreed with a position they took on an issue. Enough said.

Smokin .50 1,907 Posted May 24, 2017 Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers, so sorry if I did. Never knowing whom is on the other end of a post means potential illegal activities (purchase, transportation or possession of assault weapons) need halted right away, often w/o the necessary time to type War & Peace (such as the actual written law about the M-1 Carbine). So please take this as an apology . P.S.: My Dad taught me how to shoot his prior to Florio's Ban, so I'd love to still have it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted May 24, 2017 NJ AW law says "M1 carbine type". Says nothing about caliber. If it looks like and pretty much functions like a M1 carbine it's going to be illegal. Determination of "type" is pretty much to the digression of the NJAG. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 396 Posted May 24, 2017 Shooters is selling the 10/22 that looks like the M1 carbine. Another FFL told me this very gun is a nogo in NJ and that he could not get it for me. Thoughts? I really wanted the 9mm M1 carbine rifle that took Beretta 92 mags. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smokin .50 1,907 Posted May 24, 2017 So Griz correct me if I'm wrong: A semi-auto center fire that appears to look & function substantially similar to a Plainfield Carbine (even one with a permanent magazine) could be classified by the whim of a politician to be an assault weapon? And he/she could do so whether or not the receiver is stamped "M-1 Carbine"? TIA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember, the "M1 Carbine Type" is banned by name not by features. For example if you have a lower marked AR15 you're in violation even if it doesn't have any evil features. You can't modify a firearm banned by name to make it legal. Add to that I the M1 carbine is one of the few guns listed by "type". I would also guess the AG's decision is based on what he or she can get a prosecution. Wasn't there a guy in Monmouth Co who was convicted of poss of AW because he had a Marlin 60 that held 17 rds in the tube magazine? Not saying I agree with it at all, just saying that's the way it is. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SJG 253 Posted May 24, 2017 Question is the action on a Ruger Mini 14 any different than an M1 Carbine, putting aside for the minute that if the receiver says M1 it is a no go and the caliber is different Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Custom Guns 956 Posted May 24, 2017 The M1 carbine is banned in NJ by name, not the action Again - as long as the gun doesn't say "M1 Carbine" or "M1" and actually be a carbine there is no problem.................. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying I agree with it at all, just saying that's the way it is. Yes, here's the story as best as I can recall it: He & his wife of nearly 50 years were divorcing. They got into a mouth battle & she felt threatened so she called the Cops. As is typical for a NJ domestic squabble, responding officers always inquire if there's any firearms in the dwelling. They both said yes. Then the cops ripped the house apart searching. The guy had all 3 platforms in his extensive collection, which was cataloged & taken into custody as SOP. Under the couple's bed, still in its' original box & packing grease, UNFIRED & forgotten about, sat a 17-shot Marlin Model 60 semi-auto .22 LR the guy paid less than $50 bucks for decades previously. On went the cuffs. He became the "Sacrificial Lamb" needed to keep the general public (and especially naive gun owners) scared shitless! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJM981 924 Posted May 25, 2017 From the singular conviction that I could find for possession of an M1 Carbine the prosecution read off what was stamped on the receiver as evidence that the firearm in question was indeed an M1 Carbine. It was actually marked US Cabine 30 CAL M1. Depending on the manufacturer the markings may vary, but most include M1. There are a few carbine rifles that do not have M1 stamped on the receiver. I do plan on contacting the firearms division by either mail or email so that I can get a written response. I believe that the carbine rifles marked other than M1 would be subject to the substantially identical test of the NJ AWB. If they have different names and do not contain two evil features, then the rifles *should* be legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
