Hello everyone, brand new to the board so let me know if I'm in the right subforum or if I can have this better answered elsewhere. pagunforums.com anyone? lol

Can anyone recommend an FFL in Pennsylvania that will pin weld breaks, pin stocks, and also accept transfers. I live in North Jersey so anything in North PA with low FFL and gunsmithing fees are preferable. I am running into problems with a shop refusing to send complete AR 15s to NJ FFLs. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for coming to the forum and welcome!.

Okay.... so.... this is an obvious question, but why not just pick up from a jersey FFL, same for ordering rifles. =)

Unless you are living on the border of PA... you will likely be spending more money on gas.  Furthermore, there are plenty of low cost FFLs in the state, ie $25 plus NICS.  They are also able to do all of the compliance work that you may need.

Finally I am sure you are aware, you may be able to save money in PA, as the NICS fee is $5? rather than $15 in NJ, however that will only help you when it comes to rifles you still need to pick up handguns from a NJ FFL.

You can start here...

Find the closest FFL or preferably a vendor.

Thanks for the warm welcome. @cabalrayz is right is on the money. The company is the one refusing to ship to NJ.

I would think a call from the FFL directly may sometimes alleviate the concerns.

Secondly, why can't the FFL get the same item? I am sure after transfer and compliance work, the price should be close.

While yes, there are some who will just refuse to ship to NJ out of policy, I would think most often it is ignorance of knowing the FFL will and can do compliance work on it.

Any reasonable person would think a call from the FFL would help but my offer to make that happen was dismissed. I have spoken with the manager of the FFL department responsible for refusing shipping and they have stated their designated ATF correspondent advised against sending non-compliant rifles to NJ as did their legal department. Yes, it is likely a combination of ignorance of NJ laws, knee jerk overreaction by their legal department, and refusal to care because only few states have such absurd ambiguous legislation .  I can go on about this forever but I digress. I'm extremely disheartened by the whole situation and just growing tired of it. I would just like my rifle so I've been reduced to finding an FFL/gunsmith in PA

I'm sure a local NJ FFL can get it if they really wanted to but I purchased this rifle through a MDW sale. The small profit margin will likely not be worth the FFLs time.

Let me preface this by saying I have heard nothing but good things about the company and I have personally ordered small ticket items once from them in the past without issue. Additionally, and to their credit, the manager offered to prepare a quote on parts in lieu of the completed rifle. The manager tried her best to match the rifle I ordered i.e. completed upper, stripped lower, lower parts, extension and I would have to assemble it myself. Despite the manager's best effort the price point totaled higher than if they just shipped me my original order. The company is Primary Arms. NJ residents should avoid purchasing completed rifles from Primary Arms. Primary Arms will not ship completed rifles to NJ which they have failed to state anywhere on their website as policy or at any point during the checkout process.

Option 2 have it shipped to Paul he then can ship to NJ :)

@PK90, an awesome FFL who served NJ gun owners for a long long time, then moved out to Freedomland somewhere out in the badlands... er deserts of Arizona. =)  He is an FFL who sells NJ compliant stuff and well worth your time to get to know.  You can message him or visit his vendor section here...

      I'm sure most of us in Central Jersey, Monmouth county know about Steve's compliance work but figured I put it out there for those that are looking for great work and reasonable prices. 
      Here's some pics of the brake up close and the pin/weld. That little dot is the pin and weld on the last image. Looks like factory! The other pics are just since I'm uploading anyways lol. What do u guys think about the red mag release. I'm on the fence on that. Gonna add a vertical foregrip and prob a red dot w/ irons when its all said and done.

      Although it's not a NJ establishment I believe West Side Rifle and Pistol Range is the last indoor gun range that exists in NYC of all places. I happen to know the guys and they are a great bunch of guys. I found out that they are also hurting like all other self owned businesses and someone mentioned they have a gofundme page currently. The fact that they are a 2A establishment and also the only one left in the NYC I figured i  can let our forum members know about their page. They did not come to me about this but if I can help out a business/friend and spread the word I will do so and for a good bunch of guys. I understand that for some of us it's hard to donate but if you can that would be great. If you can also spread the word and post on your social media sites that would be great. I would do so but I don't have any accounts on FB, IG or other sites. If you do donate drop them a message that it was you heard about them via NJGF!

      As with most N.J. owners, the new law reducing max magazine capacity from 15 to 10 rounds affects me the most.  The question(s) I have concern the legality and practicality of reducing a magazine capacity to 10 rounds to be in compliance with the law.  Reading many forums and opinions I can't get a definitive strategy on how I can keep the 15 round mags I already own.  All mags accompanied handguns purchased in New Jersey.  Now I have less than 180 days to deal with them.  My current quandary:
      Magazines must be permanently modified to limit them to 10 round capacities.  California forums seem to indicate that one can rivet, epoxy or weld a block to make a mag legal.  However the wording of the new N.J. statute gives me pause.  It says:
        "The bill makes its provisions effective immediately, but allows for a 180-day grace period to transfer, render inoperable, or voluntarily surrender a semi-automatic rifle or magazine that will be unlawful under the bill."
      Does "render inoperable" include reducing capacity to 10 rounds?  Is the high capacity nature of a magazine the aspect that must be inoperable or must the magazine be destroyed altogether?  
      I have gone ahead and ordered mag conversion kits for two of my 9mm mags and will permanently modify them whenever I can find out what that will mean in N.J.
      My other complaint I will throw out there is the unfortunately lack of 10 round factory magazines in stock.  In particular, Walther and Glock mags in low capacity are very hard to find and the situation is likely to worsen now that we are a 10 round state.  I also imagine N.J. gun stores will be sending hundreds of 15 round firearms packages back to their distributors. 
      What a mess.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
