Is a telescoping stock considered a folding stock?

Featured Replies

Just trying to make sense of the non-sensical laws. Thinking on a bushmaster semi rifle for now.

No. But the law states telescoping or folding.

Welcome to the forum!

 

To answer your question, retractable/telescoping/folding stocks are not legal on semi-auto rifles in NJ.

thanx guys- funny tho, was just enjoying some random posts/discussions around here and pretty sure I saw some pics with those evil stocks....nah- must be my imagination!

Most likely if you saw a telescoping or folding stock in this state it was either pinned permanently into one position, or it was on a pump action shotgun - both 100% legal.

Fixed it for you. Just nit-pickin. :D

Bushmaster does make a nice M4 that has the stock pinned in a comfortable position. They also grind the bayonette lug off the end. If you can get past those two points it's still a great gun and won't get you arrested.

speaking of nit-pickin...

 

retractable/telescoping/folding stocks are not legal on semi-auto rifles that have detachable magazines and already have one other of the evil features

 

pistrol grip

flash hider

bayonet lug

grenade launcher.

Most manufacturers make a Ban state (NJ compliant) version of an AR15. If not, you can request them to permanently attach a muzzle brake, grind down bayo lug, etc... Stag, BCM, CMMG, and many more will do it in house.

 

Or screw the manufacturers and build one yourself, just the way you want it!! :D

This take us back to the OP's "Just trying to make sense of the non-sensical laws. " :facepalm:

And by permanent they mean you need tools to remove said "pin" correct?

That is the established method
