Are M1 Garands illegal in NJ. I could have sworn my father had one confiscated (for trying to sell one) a bunch of years ago. Perhaps it was the caliber it was in?

M1 Garand no...

 

M1 Carbine yes...

To add to that, garands are legal in ANY configuration (unless you do some really wacky unheard of stuff) and the carbine is legal in NO configurations (as of now)

You know, that's boggled me and I've never bothered to learn why, so why exactly are M1 carbines illegal in NJ?

Off topic, the M1 Garand Carbine is my FAVORITE gun in the WWII Call of Duty video game series!

so why exactly are M1 carbines illegal in NJ?

 

Because we have a legislature that decides to ban guns based on cosmetic features, imaginary powers guns are said to possess, or because "scary people" had one.

Yes, it was the M1 Carbine that he had to surrender. So would the ammo be illegal too? Thanks.

other then being a stupid law, the only reason i can think of is that when the ban list was originally made, someone saw a picture of an M1 carbine with the folding paratrooper stock, and ignorantly assumed all M1s had the same stock.

So would the ammo be illegal too?

 

 

No, the ammo is perfectly fine. There are other legal guns chambered for .30 Carbine - not that that matters.

what about the ones with the bm59 + m14 magazine conversions ?

what about the ones with the bm59 + m14 magazine conversions ?

 

that is a no-no, banned by name:

 

Beretta AR-70 and BM59 semi-automatic firearms

 

 

Edit...

Now that I know that the ammo is legal, anyone want some cheap? I've got a bunch but no M1 Carbine to shoot them out of. All paperwork is a must.

 

as far as I know you wont be needing any paperwork to sell ammo..

but you will need to be a premier member to sell it here....

that is a no-no, banned by name:

 

Beretta AR-70 and BM59 semi-automatic firearms

 

 

i was thinking of the conversion mag kits , not the one manufactured that way - like + similar clause ?
