I see lots of non nj-legal weapons for sale on gunbroker with nj ffls. ARs with flash hiders and bayonet lugs etc. Can you just check it in with an ffl for now until you figure out what to do? gets it out of his hands for now...

Looks like a Seekins Precision Lower with a VLTOR Upper

Finally had a reason to take some photos... Spikes Jolly Roger Lower Spikes Enhanced LPK Magpul CTR Spikes ST-T2 buffer BCM SS410 16" Midlength 1:8 w/ IonBond and 5.56 NATO USMC SAM-R Match Chamber BCM BCG BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle Spikes 9" SAR Rail Vortex Viper 2-7x BDC on Burris QD PEPR (also have Primary Arms Multi Red Dot) ARMS 40-L BUIS

less than 0.750" but not by much... mine mic'ed at 0.743" Spikes Jolly Roger Lower Spikes Enhanced LPK Magpul CTR Spikes ST-T2 buffer BCM SS410 16" Midlength 1:8 w/ IonBond and 5.56 NATO USMC SAM-R Match Chamber BCM BCG BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle Spikes 9" SAR Rail Vortex Viper 2-7x BDC on Burris QD PEPR (also have Primary Arms Multi Red Dot) ARMS 40-L BUIS

Just wanted to share this. I installed the Nordic Tactical Compensator on my AR upper, permanently pinned and welded. I went with this comp becuase the OD is less than 0.750, and the FSB (or gas block) will clear it. I was able to remove my FSB and install my Spikes SAR rail, without having to remove the comp. Others out there are larger in diameter, which means you have to remove the device if you want to change your upper up. Its worth considering if you like to like to tinker, but have to play by NJ rules..... http://shop.nordiccomp.com/Nordic-Components-Tactical-Compensator-223-Black-Oxide-CMP-TC-22-BK.htm I'll get some pics up tonight.

Use the clamshell type. You can rack the upper receiver torquing the barrel using the takedown pin type.

this is my very short summary, of info i have read online when researching. i am by no means an expert. just an accumulation of observations that i have managed to retain. anyone is welcome to correct me if i am misspeaking to anything. 16" is minimum by law. you can do a 14.5" or 14.7" with the NJ required welded compensator or brake to bring to the legal minimum of 16". no flash hiders in NJ. beyond that, its up to you for use and preference. i chose 16" gas system length - carbine vs midlength vs rifle carbine is shortest, most felt recoil, most reliable, fastest cyclic rate - mil-spec. midlength is is slightly longer, slightly slower, just as reliable, less felt recoil. rifle length is longest... i chose midlength. twist rate - 1:7 / 1:8 / 1:9... others 1:7 is mil-spec, most accurate for heavier bullets, 64 - 79 grain. will shoot 55 grain xm193 fine, but less accurately. 1:8 covers the spread from 55 grain to 72 grain. most 223 target guns are rifled at 1:7.7 which is mathematically the best. 1:9 is best for lighter weight 55 grain bullets - ideal for a plinking/target gun. i chose 1:8.

FYI to follow up. Called Bernards PD this morning. Everything is with the Captain and Chief for approval. Going on 50 days.....

nice meeting you. thanks.

sorry for disappearing for a bit there. I appreciate all of the good info and insight here. also appreciate the help from NJ2AS. looks like the PD is within their power, as redundant and annoying as it is. i'll follow up and let you know just how long it takes to get the permits... thanks all.

you work for a demolition company...

"not needed" doesnt necessarily imply that they can't require them. This is a much stronger statement, that they cannot add any additional requirements other than those defined in the statute. How do I go about approaching the Chief or Captain, or NJSP to have the conversation about the statute above?

So I went to the Bernards Twp. PD today to apply for additional P2Ps. Woman pulls my file to review for last date of fingerprint. Luckily it was last July when I got my FID card. She told me that I just made it, I only required a NICS search. If it was a few days later, I would have had to get fingerprinted again. PD policy is that they require only an NICS search if fingerprints are less than a year old, and older than that you must get new prints and NICS before issuing permits. Not for nothing, this can get expensive quickly, adding nearly $18 or $75 to the cost of the permit. Also redundant since NICS is required when purchasing a handgun. Policy here: http://www.bernards....of%202-1-10.pdf Has anyone else seen this? Any thoughts? Recommendations, aside from live with their policy?

If he's out of state add the FFL fee and NICS to the price.

we were at the Star. about 26 miles straight out of barnegat inlet. the boat a mile from me had a +300 mako circling the boat for a while but couldnt get her to eat.

the nikon m223 above is as good a deal as you will find on a good fixed AR mount. if you are looking for a QD mount, the only thing out there is the Burris PEPR for about $100. after that you are into LaRue, ADM, etc for close to $200

had the gaff in the gills lifting the head out of the water. just wanted to share that a target load of 7-1/2 shot had trouble penetrating shark skin. i remember seeing something about heavy clothes or whatever, which made me think that if it could get through shark skin at 12", nevermind about canvas-like Carhartt material or a heavy duty ripstop nylon or something from 10 yards or so... the bulk of the load in the center did what it was supposed to do. had enough mass and energy. just the individual pellets at the edge couldnt get through on their own.

shot a Mako shark this weekend with a 12 gauge target load from 12 inches away. many individual pellets on the perimeter did not penetrate the skin and just left scratches...

223lbs

when i make it up to cherry ridge, i'll let you know and we'll see what we can do.

thanks frank.

Just picked up a 30" Remington Vent Rib barrel that takes choke tubes to go with the Wingmaster I got from Old School. (Thanks Frank!) Wondering about the best place to start with chokes. I'm going to use the 30" mostly for clay shooting, and might move in to turkey and deer hunting... Extended tubes or flush mount? Ported? Remington or Carlson's? I know eventually I'll need to pattern the ammo and tube to see what works, but right now I just need a place to start and some help pointing me in the right direction. Thanks all

FWIW, Palmetto is willing to pin the break at the shop if you ask nicely

back in stock again

ordered a case this morning as well... $0.33/round delivered for 5.56 is a good price.
