Last month it was only 2 days for me. Before that had been around 3-4.

6 days right now.

See Q13. https://www.nj.gov/njsp/firearms/firearms-faqs.shtml 13. I’m not a police officer, are hollow points legal for me to possess? Yes. They are legal for purchase and possess in your home or on land owned by you. They are legal to possess and use at a gun range. They are also legal to possess while traveling to and from such places. Ammunition lacking a hollow cavity at the tip, such as those with a polymer filling, are not considered to be hollow point ammunition. An example of this can be seen with the Hornady Critical Defense / Critical Duty, Cor-Bon PowRball / Glaser Safety Slug and Nosler Inc. Defense ammunition.

I would assume this would apply to all manufactured Others not just the A4. In the NJSP letter stating the A4 is legal, it also mentions some other "Others." I would assume those would also be legal, since they are very similar. I would also hope that properly built home built Others would also be legal.

Interesting to see what is happening in Russia to Russian people. No access to credit cards, banks can't move money, property/assets are getting seized/frozen. All fairly quickly and without due process. US is looking to control digital currencies. More reason to up your emergency cash you keep on hand. Also Russia passed laws allowing them to imprison or sanction reporters who report things the government does not approve or like, as well as blocking outside news. Imagine America doing something similar and using what you say or post as a pretense for freezing your assets. They already have the FBI labelling parents speaking up as Domestic Terrorists. Normally I'd say this could never happen, but after last 2 years, anything is possible.

So can't get one with a threaded barrel?

Thanks for the link. It gives clarity on what reasonable deviations might be when traveling to/from range and your house or similar exemptions. It answered a question I had of can you pick someone up to take them to the range to shoot with you and the exemptions seem to allow for that. It also mentions getting food, but seemed to only allow using the closest drive through along the route. Would stopping at a dine in restaurant close to the route not be acceptable?

Is there a proposal of banning .50AE? And if one is registered to me, wouldn't I have to turn it in after the ban or otherwise "get rid of it"?

Does the 50oz weight limit apply to all handguns, or just AR style pistols?

It looks like the SB MIni Hex is still a brace and would probably suffer the same fate as the SB3. Basically looking for non-brace attachments for the end of the buffer tube.

The day you pick up the first handgun and take it home is Day 0, not from when you submitted the NICS check right? You cannot take home another handgun until day 31. Does that mean you can submit your NICS check prior to day 30 of owning your first gun in anticipation of going to the FFL and taking it home on Day 31? Or do you have to wait until day 31 to submit your NICS check and then therefore end up picking it up around Day 34 given the typical 2-3 day NICS check wait?

Exactly. If it becomes an issue, I plan on keeping the Other and removing the brace. I'd like to know what options there are to replace the stock in that event. That was the whole point of this thread. The only item posted was this: https://blackcollararms.com/product/aps/ Any other items?

I have these and really like them. Kinda surprising for the price, but I seem to be pretty accurate and have maintained zero. https://amzn.to/3sgB2kg

Ruble just tanked. Wait till Russian Vodka prices drop.

The worksheet is for seeing if the brace can still be considered a brace on a pistol. That means they could effectively say all brace are considered stocks unless it meets these requirements on this worksheet. If it doesn't meet the requirements, its a stock. That would make Non-NFA Others a SBR if it still had the braces on them at time of implementation.

What are your recommendations to prep for what's going on in Ukraine and Russia's promised "Strong Response" to US sanctions? I just filled all my fuel tanks as price of gas hasn't risen near me yet, but I expect it to very soon. I would expect to see Russia trying to hack our infrastructure. I've seen a huge increase of Russian phishing scam emails in the past month. He's also threatened possible nuclear retaliation, but highly unlikely. NATO Ammo could get scarce as demand for it rises. Other ammo could get scarce as production focuses on increase demand for NATA ammo. So what prep do you recommend to hedge against the wide variety of possible situations unique to what's currently going on?

Why didn't you like the Wave+? Still don't like it or has it grown on you?

Try using the brace as intended with 2 hands on an Other. Strapped to your forearm of strong hand and your weak hand on front vertical grip. You can't line up the shot. It places the firearm going across your body, making it impossible to line up sights with your eye. I'd bet that braces on Others will be considered stocks making them illegal in NJ as it is then a SBR. If that is the case, is there something useful that can go on the buffer tube to keep it legal in NJ as an Other without having to change out the barrel and make it into a rifle?

It would probably need to be taken up by a federal court, not state or local.

Marbury v Madison (1803) landmark case, Judge Marshall concluded, “the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” Marbury v. Madison - Definition, Summary & Significance - HISTORY

What makes you think it won't go into effect? Seems to be a done deal. "Conversely, firearms exceeding 26 inches in overall length are impractical and inaccurate to fire one handed, even with a “stabilizing brace,” due to imbalance of the weapon." Based on that, it looks like their intent is to make any "pistol brace" on a firearm over 26" to be considered a stock used to fire the weapon from the shoulder because pistol brace would be impractical and inaccurate to fire one handed on anything over 26". An Other with a stock is no longer an Other. Read through this link Regulations.gov including all of the Scenarios and Alternatives about 3/4 toward the bottom.

Right, they can't ban the brace but if you own a pistol or rifle that the addition of that brace that is in your possession would make it a SBR, your rifle would then become illegal in NJ under constructive intent, even if the brace is not currently mounted on it. Essentially a de-facto ban in NJ.

Hmm, they might make braces on firearms under 12 or over 26 automatically stocks. I doesn't say what happens or what its considered when it falls outside that range, other than it is not suitable for a brace. "As a preliminary factor when evaluating a submitted sample, certain prerequisites will be applied to determine if the firearm, without the attached “stabilizing brace,” will even be considered a suitable weapon for the brace. " "Conversely, firearms exceeding 26 inches in overall length are impractical and inaccurate to fire one handed, even with a “stabilizing brace,” due to imbalance of the weapon."

Currently from what I've seen the new regulations apply only to pistols which are under 26". The proposed points system definitely applies to under 26". Non NFA Others can not be pistols because they over 26". I would assume they would turn into an SBR if they also apply the rules to firearms over 26". Would think if you take the brace off (before it officially becomes a "Stock") it would still be a Non-NFA Other (Others can never have had a stock on it or it permanently becomes a rifle I think). Just my guess based on the limited info been able to find so far. If you look at the worksheet, Section 1 Prerequisites, Item 2 says the weapon must have an overall length between 12 and 26".

Die hard Democrats will believe whatever Democrat politicians say no matter how ridiculous or proof to the contrary.
