I think you're confusing a stripped lower with an 80% lower. An 80% receiver need further machining to be an actual firearm, a stripped lower is already a firearm under the law. OP - I don't think buying or owning an 80% receiver is regulated in NJ. Turning an 80% receiver into an working receiver would absolutely require a manufacturing license in NJ.

THIS^^^^^^ The most likely reason they covered it at all. - I will say I was surprised to see any gun competition coverage.

Never been to Newfoundland, but when I was in New Brunswick (that would be Canada, not NJ) I was talking to the locals, and they said Newfoundland is crawling with them and you are virtually guaranteed to shoot one there. You may may want to bring a Newfee - English dictionary, those people are hard to understand sometimes.

EDIT: Forgot to mention RTSP (another forum sponsor) in Randolf, is not only a range but also a gun shop - prices are fair (for NJ), mostly new guns, very little used, milsurp or estate guns.

If you acquired your handguns legally where you lived previously and they are not banned by NJ's AWB there is absolutely nothing you need to do to possess them legally in NJ. You should however hold on to any paperwork that you may have from when you bought them in MI (or wherever) should the unlikely situation arise that you somehow need to prove to the police that you acquired them legally. Registration is of handguns is not required under NJ law, but is done automatically when you buy any in NJ. The Pistol Purchase Permits you will receive from your PD are for buying new handguns only, if your were to decide to voluntarily register your handguns (which, as others have already stated is a bad idea), you would use a different form.

Welcome! As far as shops near by you have cranky Frank in Rockaway at the Silver Bullet - good selection but prices are on the higher end and Frank is rather opinionated and moody. Joe Sirvent in Denville at Side by Side - nice guy, inventory is limited and only open Monday evenings, Saturdays and by appointment, transfers are fairly reasonable. True Value Hardware in Lincoln Park does cheap transfers but has no inventory. Jet Agent in Mendham (sponsor on this forum) - can order guns for you.

He doesn't need an FFL in NJ, he only needs an FFL in FL if the FL FFL will take a transfer from a non FFL. It may still be cheaper to use a NJ FFL because they can ship it down there US mail for about $20 as opposed to overnight UPS or Fed Ex that would be necessary if you don't use an FFL.

I don't have any recollection on what AR parts did, but 13 round Glock 21 mags were selling for about $100 - and I had four of them........ should have sold them, and rebought them after the ban went out for $35 each. If only I had a working crystal ball.

Yes, but only on the condition that NW Jersey gets to join PA.

I've shot a case of Independence 9mm and didn't find it to be exceptionally dirty, certainly cleaner than Wolf or Sliver Bear.

I have avoided using Hoppes on nickle plated guns because Hoppes says it could take the finnish off if left on after cleaning. I used CLP to clean and oil them, and that worked well.

I have a couple 15 round aftermarket mags I bought in the early 90's, haven't seen any more since, but they do exist. I haven't shot my mini 14 in a while but from what I recall the mags functioned fine.

If you are talking about obsolete guns made AFTER 1898, I would recommend going the FFL/PPP route to CYA. Anything made before 1899, regardless of whether or not it takes readily available cartridges, is an antique under federal law and can be bought and sold outside of NJ without papers by anyone (prohibited persons possibly not withstanding). The same applies to all BP and airguns, regardless of manufacture date. You can also sell an antique in PA (or most other states) without papers to anyone.

OP, you are not breaking any laws by buying antique, BP or air guns in person out of state (if it's legal there) and bring them back to NJ. Just be sure not to have anything shipped into NJ, that's NOT legal.

You will need to provide references every time, most PD's will send out their standard letter to your refs each time, but some may opt not to if you applied recently, other PD's may call your refs instead. It's up to them what they are going to do each time.

Mine is in my lawn about 10' or so from the edge of the road.

Is it made by Kahr? or is it a West Hurley?

I was told they have no more Krags to put out, and anything worth buying was wiped out about a week ago.

Having a C&R also gives the ATF the authority to come in your house and do an audit of your book. There were past instances where the NJSP tagged along and committed some heinous civil rights violations on gun collectors. May never happen to you, but do you want to take the chance for a license you can't really use?

NO! Not in NJ - they will not allow anyone to use a C & R in NJ.

SHHHHHH!!!!!!! don't give the NJSP any ideas, licenses are required for manufacturing. This is just adding parts to a receiver.

Agreed...... far to many paranoid people on this forum.

Bottom line is.......... If you get stopped by the police in NJ, and it comes to the attention of the cop that there is a firearm in your vehicle, the answer to the "where are you coming from" question, should the cop ask (and you decide to actually answer the question), is always, from a range or gunshop/gunsmith. Just be ready to elaborate further as to it's location. Whether or not you actually went shooting or the gunsmith was even open at the time, is not relevant, only that your intent was to go there.

Yes, the Chinese 53's were to the left, and had beat up stocks with decent metal, the Russian M44's were immediately next to them on the right and were arsenal refinished and therefore looked new externally - at least that was the case around 10 am or so. They both look the same when laying on a table, you need to pick them up and look at the markings to see the difference.
