david8613 69 Posted October 18, 2019 Any ar pistol recommendations? New Jersey legal of course. I have everything I need right now pistol wise, but I have a permit to use soon, i wanna make sure I use it. I was thinking an ar pistol why not I never owned one, I always wanted one.

High Exposure 5,635 Posted October 18, 2019 IMO a NJ Legal AR pistol is not worth it. Can’t have handguards, has to be under 50oz. There is o my one company that I know of that makes one and that is Extar, and I think they aren’t around anymore or don’t make the NJ legal version if I remember correctly. The next best thing/closest thing to what you see other states have as an AR pistol is an SBF Firearm, which is totally legal in NJ, and you don’t need a pistol permit for. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david8613 69 Posted October 18, 2019 I saw that thread, gonna read up on it some more. I saw that extar looks crappy not sure though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Underdog 1,593 Posted October 18, 2019 For the most part I imagine that AR pistols are illegal in NJ due to weight and magazine outside of grip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted October 18, 2019 One option to get what you may be looking for (and use a permit) is a Sig 320 trigger pack (which you will need the permit to buy as the trigger is the serialized firearm) and a slide, a barrel, and put it into a Fire Control Unit X01PDW. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted October 18, 2019 The classic "ar pistol" in NJ is the Bushmaster Carbon, which a few dealers have. In reality though, I think it is kind of silly, especially since today you can buy an "other firearm" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Custom Guns 956 Posted October 19, 2019 We have one in stock if you would like to discuss it.......... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted October 19, 2019 Sweet! I thought they stopped making them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JT Custom Guns 956 Posted October 19, 2019 The early ones were the best - either Professional Ord. or just after BM bought out PO. I only stock one when I come across a NOS, or un-fired example of the early models....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david8613 69 Posted October 19, 2019 How do these compare with the extars? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t buy one - not my thing. I thought they stopped making the Bushmaster car-bons that you could turn into a NJ Legal pistol. The Car Bon carbines I had experience with were pretty unreliable back in the day. I have no experience with the pistol conversions though. Anyway, I’m just glad another company didn’t abandon NJ and still make an option for those who think this will scratch an itch. It’s always good to have options. I listed my A-answer alternatives above to an AR Pistol in NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelDiggs 29 Posted November 8, 2019 If you change your mind and want an regular AR, then I would always go for Bravo Company ( BCM ). I used the very good people JT Customs, Jack to get my Bravo rifle. Can't buy them at dealers since they do not ship to NJ at all. Jack was able to obtain a NJ legal version which I have been very happy with and will rely on that weapon with my life if I ever had to. It just always works and every part on that rifle is made to last. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,129 Posted November 8, 2019 If I didn't already own both a Bushmaster (fluted stainless barrel with the QD muzzle) and a ProOrd (black barrel allen screwed muzzle) I'd jump on the BM that JT has for sale. The only thing it's missing is the rail on top for an optic (both mine have it). Not sure if that particular part is still available. Next choice would be a modified for jersey Extar. These AR pistols are fun as hell to shoot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sig 320 being modular make this nj legal??? I have seen stuff like this for glocks always thought they were illegal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
