yojoe300 3 Posted June 27, 2018 Hi there- Just purchased a Springfield Scout Squad and I'm loving the thing. I am having a bit of a grip issue and I am considering adding an angled foregrip to the rifle. My question is this: will this make me run afoul of NJ rifle law? The rifle has a detachable magazine and the flash hider is not pinned. I haven't seen anything that says a foregrip makes the rifle an "assault weapon" but one can never be too sure. Crazy that I have to even ask this, but thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njJoniGuy 2,129 Posted June 27, 2018 The fact that your flash hider is not pinned (and presumably threaded rather than pressed-on to the muzzle) is the bigger problem. Those 2 "evil features" make it an assault weapon under current 2C:39 and :58 definitions. The angled foregrip is not, YET, an evil feature on rifles (but coming soon if the DemoRats have their way. The bill is already filed for action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medved11 71 Posted June 27, 2018 Unless something has changed, the Scout model has a brake and not a flash hider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo2936 297 Posted July 21, 2018 Cant have flash hider, has to have a brake or comp (or thread cover) and MUST be pinned AFAIK. AFG is not an issue, its an accessory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
