Is the ATI STG-44 .22LR Legal?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I was hoping for some input from you pro's about a gun law question I am trying to figure out. (Feel free to scroll down for the Tl;DR)

So I was in PA and went to a range and they had one of those ATI GSG STG-44 .22LR rifles. The gun looks like a ton of fun as a plinker but I am curious as to whether or not it would be legal to own one in New Jersey. Now I understand that the 24 round magazine is an absolute no-go, but would this particular firearm (Magazine aside) be considered an assault rifle? 

Under New Jersey law, a firearm is classified as an "assault firearm" if it meets the following criteria:[23]

Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and at least two of the following:
- Folding or telescoping stock
- Pistol grip
- Bayonet mount
- Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
- Grenade launcher mount

So I know it has an pistol grip, but does it have a threaded barrel? It doesn't have a folding/telescoping stock, bayonet mount, nor a grenade launcher mount. I believe the end does screw off but does that automatically make it a threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor? Or does it screw off just to replace that part should it break and it would not be considered a threaded barrel? I would still consider myself a novice with all the technicalities and I wouldn't want to land myself in any hot water. Any input would be great!

TL;DR: Is the ATI STG-44 .22LR considered an "Assault Rifle" in NJ? (Magazine capacity aside because they make compliant magazines)

Thanks again and God bless!

There was a ban compliant model, but you'd be hard pressed to find one now. I'd have to look up my records, but I would guess they came out 10 years ago or more. I could be wrong.

I am wrong. Sold my first GSG-STG44 in December of 2012. Dealer price then was $486. I don't remember modifying any of those.

    • 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.
