Good day ,

I’ m moving to NJ pretty soon and just wanted to get some clarification on my firearms especially with rifles( .223 and  .22) . I was trying to do some research but it wasn’t clear to me, so. Are semi-automatic rifles legal or not ? 
 

I’m as long as my firearms were obtained legally in another state I should be good to go, but I don’t understand their definition when it comes to the rifles. 
 

Thank you in advanced and please excuse my ignorance !

A better description of the rifles would be helpful.

No adjustable or folding stocks, they must be permanently pinned or glued to not move. If muzzle is threaded attached muzzle device cannot be a flash hider and must be permanently attached, pinned and welded.

No bayonet lug or grenade launcher and no magazines that hold more than 10 rounds or larger magazine permanently modified to only accept 10 rounds.

Agree with the other two replies. In general, semi-auto rifles and shotguns are highly restricted in terms of functional enhancements, while bolt-action or pump-fed long guns have a great deal more latitude. Doesn't make any real sense, but if you are moving here, you should start getting used to that (not exclusive to firearms regs, either :-/
