Mossberg Shockwave etc now legal, does that impact other "firearms"?

Recommended Posts

I believe they always were legal, as long as the barrel is 16" total length and other overall length is 26" or greater then your good to go with any semi auto rifle. A few members here have AK's with underfolders pinned in the closed position if I remember correctly. 

If you mean can you have a AR with a barrel less than 16" as long as the overall length is 26" then the answer is NO. Unless you buy it with a pistol permit and build it to weigh under 50oz and no handguard AKA Ar15 handgun

IMO, according to the NJSP's opinion regarding the pistol-grip firearms, I believe AR type firearms can also be classified the same way. But you gain very little. The barrel will need to be 12".

@PK90 I agree it doesn't get you much compared to say a 14.5" barrel, mostly just curious if it could be done.

Another thing I noticed is that it seems as though the AWB targets only semi-auto rifles, pistols, and shotguns.  I'm curious how that would legally play out (other than reversing the opinion and classifying it as a pistol).  Seems to me if the firearm is legal under NJ law then it also wouldn't fall under the AWB.

All firearms under NJ law, that are legal for you to buy, are either long guns or handguns. The "other" category only exists under federal law. So, there is no category of firearms that isn't subject to NJ AWB law scrutiny.

 

The Shockwave is to be sold using a COE like a long gun in NJ.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
