Ha, well, you're right-- "easily" removable can vary, and is for debate of what it means in application.

done

I might have to consider the revamp... I wasn't a big fan of the wings on the original model, or the fact it was HUGE, ha. Let us know when FDE is in, since it'll probably be my new color scheme , thanks Ty.

It is 26'', and that is Federal law, not state. You won't be able to "un-pin" your current stock because in the process, the stock would probably be damaged or destroyed beyond the point of being able to be used again. Instead, just buy a new stock and receiver extension, and bring/ship it to a smith (there are plenty on this forum)-- and they'll pin it for a small fee at whichever length you wish. Or you can buy fixed stocks that are a shorter LOP (length of pull) already. Rock River Arms sells an "entry" stock (around 7''), as does Cav Arms (A1 length), Sully stock (around 7'', my personal preference), and a number of the ACE stocks (which range from short to longer LOPs). Good luck.

Ha, the video made me chuckle-- in the good way, like being in a toy store as a kid type chuckle/giggle. Well, getting out of NJ can't come soon enough.

Thanks for sharing the link-- definitely a good resource when traveling.

I totally get what you're saying here, and why having a bill like this pass is so important. Politicians ultimately spin their facts to their own agenda... its the same reason why they'll say crime is down in an area, only because people are too afraid to report it. Or that a woman can't cite rape because she wears provocative clothing when she goes out... Because people wouldn't sign up for CCW (because of the massive price), they can say there is no interest and should be dropped as an idea. So, eh, now I'm wavering on my vote.

AOW tax stamps are only $5 too... compared to the $200 for other NFA items. And I'm with PK90 and SpecialK, its ultimately just not worth it at the end unless you have a superior court judge who can sign off on such paperwork as an uncle or godfather.

You can always have a muzzle device replaced with a compliant one... muzzle devices have to be permanently pinned anyway, which the ACRs do not have. So, its a matter of buying a compliant muzzle device, and having it permanently attached (cost of muzzle device + gun smithing service). Otherwise, the "Basic" ACR configuration is NJ legal, as it has no bayonet lug, and already has a fixed stock.

I don't have issues with requiring some type of proof of being able to safely handle firearms (NRA course, Hunter safety, DD-214, etc) because, unlike other free states, a good majority of the NJ population (especially this next generation of younger gun owners) haven't experienced an environment that promoted safe firearms handling. But a psych evaluation? Annual fees? Laws already in the books that would not favor a law-abiding citizen if they were in a fight-or-die situation? Maybe if this went through, it would help promote the over-arching philosophy of the Second Amendment; and values and beliefs of freedom, liberty, and what it is to be a law-abiding, armed citizen... but I feel like that would still be lost in the shuffle, and the whole point of promoting an environment where firearms aren't vilified wouldn't really change. While I wouldn't pay to play personally, I would support for the bill to be passed because it would be a step forward for 2A rights and awareness (and what I said above). Still, as its been argued relentlessly, I believe the issue is not CCW in NJ...

AR10 is a broad-stroke term (like AR15) that describes AR-variants chambered in .308-- so I can understand why you would say that. But is the Colt CM901 an AR10? No, not really; just like how there are technically a couple dozens types of AR-varieties, and people will call them "AR15," "M4, and "M16" anyway.

From my understanding, it is considered an AOW based on the fact that it is a smooth-bore pistol. It is not considered a shotgun for the exact reason mentioned by SpecialK. To add, since Serbu manufactures the Super Shorty from shotguns that came with pistol grips and no stock, it cannot be claimed to be a shotgun. Now, I guess the debate might be whether or not NJ would focus on the "AOW" label or the fact that its known as a smooth-bore pistol.

I'm in the "no; based on principles" boat. The whole idea is the most obvious misdirection. Its a shame that liberty comes taxed now... and considering liberals claim to be so progressive, they sure do stereotype and label with the best of the worst.

It is considered an AOW, and, IIRC, AOW and machine guns are the only NFA items allowed in NJ... so, if it is in fact legal, then its a matter of getting those forms signed off (which is a totally different manner in itself). ETA: This doesn't necessarily mean the Serbu is in fact NJ legal under NFA law-- its that AOWs (though limited from my understanding, whatever that means) are allowed.

Welcome!

A number of guys do it on the forum (and there are tutorials on the all-knowing-all-powerful internet). PM me, and I can point you in a few directions.

Decent member-to-non-member ratio so far. Chances are I might bring a friend or two that aren't forum members-- so, we might need a member or two more to help guest the group in.

Its just a pump with a chassis.

There is nothing written in the law that states you cannot apply for multiple permits (regardless of what your local PD tells you). One [hand]gun a month law (OGAM) dictates you have to wait a full month from the date of your last handgun purchase to purchase another handgun using permits. Many people will get two or three permits at once because between the local PD and NJSP, the process can be very lengthy. So, for example: Consumer A applies and receives three pistol permits (which are good for 90 days, and renewable for another 90 days). He immediately uses one for a purchase. He then waits a month as prescribed by law, and purchases another using the second permit. A full month later, he can then use his third permit. Technically, a person could apply for five permits at once, and, by renewing the permits, he can safely use the other two within those 180 days (including when two permits were renewed). I would say six permits, but with the overlap of months, by the letters of the law, I don't know if it would be quite legal.

Hello and welcome as well. Don't be timid, most of us don't bite I'm sure the North NJ guys can square you away on the local ranges and other firearms-related services.

From what it says, you can discuss/order custom targets with them-- which would be interesting... maybe get a NJGF themed steel plate And yea, Ty, I read more about the waterjet process, and I didn't realize the difference it could make. I'm pretty sure I'm going to inquire about the 12''x12'' square targets, and maybe get a stand for good measure (since its a pretty reasonable price).

I think a lot of people misconstrue the length of the blade explanation. 2C:39-9.1. Sale of knives to minors; crime of the fourth degree; exceptions: So, from that, the only time a length of the blade is even discussed is if a person sells "any hunting, fishing, combat or survival knife having a blade length of five inches or more or an overall length of 10 inches or more to a person under 18 years of age." I think the real argument is the whole "for lawful purposes," which, IIRC, has been discussed quite a bit on the forum.

Just checked Big Dog Steel out (http://www.bigdogsteel.com/). I really like their targets (esp coming with mounting holes if need be), and the prices are very competitive (their prices include shipping). Thanks for sharing, Ty, pretty sure I found what I was looking for

I want to ring the gong, but am not sure where to start. I want a plate that can handle center-fire rifle shooting. I would use the plate at a range like Range 14 (where I would put it out at 200yd) for reference. What kind of steel should I be looking for? What are some reputable names? Could I just go to a scrap yard or hardware store? One of the names I've seen in passing is actiontarget.com. They sell plates and stands, etc... for Range 14, would I need to utilize a stand or could I just prop it up on the ground near the berm? I ask because I saw some options at Action Target that didn't seem too bad: http://www.shopactio...ice-target.html and http://www.shopactio...heavy-duty.html Also, I was thinking of using 'Caution' tape to mark it (last time out, I remember I could hardly see Lunker's plate out there in the overcast/rain). I have it in yellow lying around-- any better colors? Thanks for any suggestions.

Well, Pmags do make a decent mono-pod. With the improvements to magazines, it is fine to sit the rifle on the magazines during prone shooting. I do agree with the notion that Ty pointed out, if you're going to consider upgrading the bi-pod for the sake of the magazine, you'd might as well just invest in 15/20s instead... far, far more cheaper. And yes, I am one of those types that think the 20-round body is terrible for manipulation, even with plates
