I thought if you made your own for personal use, it would be illegal to sell them?

Especially since your references are going to be gun friends who use you as their reference over and over again.

Do the feds require you to put a serial number on it when you make your own receiver?

You can even have a double stack AK, as long as you play the evil features game.

I'm not 100% on this.. but I believe the state gives the local PD the responsibility of conducting the background investigation, and that is where the differences come in. What if you were unemployed, or self employed, or retired?

The question I was trying to clarify was what makes a fake dummy gun a dummy gun. If it's fake, then you can put whatever you want on it.. right?

I would take the legal advice of sportsman's guide before a crazy hobo i suppose, but they also mark their AR-15 sights and sight adjustment tools as not available in NJ. I could see an argument if you said a "dummy gun" was built with an actual receiver from a named weapon. but all of the "de-milled" receivers I've ever seen where torch cut way beyond usability, making them NOT a weapon in the ATF's eyes. If you get a dummy receiver that isn't marked as such, I don't see why there would be a problem making a replica from the rest of the "real" parts (barrel, trigger group, etc) assuming it can't actually fire.

I had an incident in Willow Grove PA where an employee would not sell me ammo. He said it was illegal. I submitted a complaint on their website and 2 days later, the manager of the store called me to apologize for his mistake.

No, it iws not. It is simply a corporate decision. Do you need an FFL to sell ammunition commercially?

I had a stainless taurus 1911 and it was a nice solid gun. The one thing I didn't like about it was the ambi safety. It stuck out too far and rubbed my thumb the wrong way. But that's just a complaint with the ambi safety, not the gun itself. I had a RIA GI model and loved it. The only thing I would have changed would be get "real" (combat) sights on it. The GI sights are a bit on the small side.

You give them an inch and they take a mile.

How would a dummy gun be considered an assault weapon? R you talking about a "demilled" gun?

I believe my non resident license and muzzle loader permit where like $130. Two doe tags were an additional ~$60ish. The good thing about PA licenses is that almost everything is included in that yearly license. Don't need various stamps and such for most species like you do in NJ.

They go on sale from time to time as well. Over the summer, they had an 1858 Remington for around $140

Anyway, I hope there is an exception or a way. I have two rifles with no serial numbers purchased 100% legally and right here in this fine state. I don't think it's a serial number issue so much as its a grey area as to "when do you become an unlicensed (NJ) manufacturer?" In America, there is no problem, building your own stuff as long as you never sell it. I'm not 100% sure how it works if it is to be willed to someone after your departure.

Similar, but the Sten was British (9mm), the Grease gun is American (.45acp and later 9mm). I read somewhere that certain units in Iraq are still issued the grease gun (mechanics for instance who aren't on the front lines and need a lightweight weapon because they are always lugging tools). In their original configuration, were open bolt sub machine guns. Very simple designs, basically stamped metal. I'd love to own one of each :mrgreen:

Looks like those days when I forget to shave half my face.

Haha.. nice!

It's my non legal opinion.. and is worth exactly what you paid for it. and I know I've had this conversation before.. but I would think the bullet button isn't permanent enough for NJ. The bullet button comes with a dummy cartridge on a string for the purposes of easily removing the magazine. run a bead of weld around the mag well sealing in the 15 round mag.. and I'd call that permanent. and you can have all the evil features you want.

My father had to replace his mag catch with a longer one and has had no problems since. Did century pump out a bad batch of short mag catches? Drunk Dremeling Friday run?
