Is it different then a stripped AR lower? If it isn't a pistol, and you assemble it as a pistol, how would you use a p2p for it? What if you assembled it into a pistol caliber carbine, like the mechtech?

You will require a Pistol Purchase Permit and it would need to be transferred through an FFL. Same as a complete handgun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Forks 20 Posted February 24, 2020 I'm aware its all just Theorycraft/mind exercise and a real answer won't exist until someone tries it and Gets in Trouble Gets it Approved More questions If, the frame is sold in a different state, and assembled as a carbine ( never having been a pistol at all), is that still a pistol to nj? So, if you wanted to make a pistol from one of the Timberwolf frames, would you need to use a p2p to purchase it? If you don't, why? If an AR lower isn't a rifle, and the Timberwolf lower isn't a pistol If you do, why? Does the design make it a pistol, and thereby require a p2p? Does your intent to assemble it as a pistol make it a pistol? If you do/can transfer it legally, and then assemble it into a pistol have you broken NJ Law? Which?

PK90 3,573 Posted February 24, 2020 You're over thinking it. Whatever you buy a frame/receiver with, P2P or FPID, you need to build it as such. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please don't take my questioning as anything other then a quest for information. 52 minutes ago, PK90 said: Whatever you buy a frame/receiver with, P2P or FPID, you need to build it as such. Why? is the permit to p2p required based on the intent of your final assembly of the frame? Some internet lawyer argument follows- Not purchasing a pistol, but purchasing a stripped lower- Assembling a pistol from a lower that was legally obtained, and it meets all nj pistol laws when it is done. Looking for a something that says it isn't allowed The closest thing I can find is 13:54-3.13 Which says Frame and handgun, and also receiver require p2p. But wouldn't that mean you need to have a p2p for stripped AR lowers? even if you assemble them into rifles? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,133 Posted February 24, 2020 It's late and I don't have the law to quote handy, but the general Federal law is that if it's a handgun, it can become a rifle and then go back to being a handgun. If it starts life as a rifle, you cannot legally turn it into a pistol. It must stay a rifle. That's my understanding of the federal rules. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Custom Guns 958 Posted February 24, 2020 In NJ, if it is transferred as a "Frame" it then get classified as to which type of frame it is (Rifle or pistol) If it's a rifle, it transfers with a COE; if it's a Pistol it transfers with a HG permit. If it transfers as a pistol, it stays a pistol If the frame transfers as a rifle, it can't be made into a pistol in NJ because it will never clear the 50oz rule anyway.......... 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can make a jersey-legal AR pistol using polymer upper and lower that will meet the 50oz rule. I already have a pair of them (Bushmaster and ProOrd, both Carbon-15 jersey-legal models) I also bought from PK90, before he fled for sandier pastures , a polymer lower on a PPP for future use on one of those AR pistols when the Carbon-15 lower fails. I can legally build either a pistol OR a rifle from that particular lower, as I choose. If I build a rifle from it, I can always disassemble it and legally make a pistol from it. You CANNOT do that with a lower purchased on a COE. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I disagree with you - you cannot make a pistol from that lower you got from Paul because you got it on a COE - correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the proprietary parts for the type 97 Bushmaster jersey-legal pistol (short BCG, unique buffer, small diameter recoil spring and its buffer tube with a full length pin down the center) I could most certainly make make a sub-50oz pistol. As I stated in my earlier post, the polymer lower was purchased with a PPP, specifically as a future replacement for one of the carbon-15 factory lowers in the event one of them was to fail.

JT Custom Guns 958 Posted February 25, 2020 OK - I missed the PPP part because I'm tired. Let me know when you make one....................... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,133 Posted February 25, 2020 I already have two. So unless I grow a third arm, I don't think I need one. But, if someone was parting out a Bushy carbon-15 pistol (not interested in the lower), I'd certainly consider buying the proprietary parts as detailed above.

Make anything you want in Merica from a frame/receiver. Just remember, "First A Rifle, Always A Rifle". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, In not NJ, If you got one of those frames and assembled it into a rifle- its always stays a rifle on paper I think I need to start asking out of state ffl's questions.

njJoniGuy 2,133 Posted February 26, 2020 Keep in mind that you cannot buy (take delivery of) a lower (other) in any state except that of your residence. Just like handguns. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, because it is not a shotgun nor a rifle. Could the frame be assembled into a rifle from a new reciver and then legally brought in a state other then your residence because its no longer an other, it has become a rifle? Is buying a used stripped lower in a different state different then buying an entire rifle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PK90 3,573 Posted February 26, 2020 One can only buy long guns in another state, and ONLY from a dealer. No face to face transactions across state lines. The dealer also can not assemble a rifle for you without having a manufacturers license and engraving their info on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotcha, So someone would have to buy the stripped lower in one state, assemble it into a rifle, sell it to a ffl, and then the ffl could sell it as a rifle? Can a private person in state A assemble a lower into a rifle and send the rifle configured to an ffl in state B and then have it sold? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
