I was looking to purchase a Beretta Cx4 for target and USPSA multi-gun shooting, but I just came across this rifle. Bushmaster CAR15 . It is in the same price point as the Beretta ($664 with free shipping).

 

Is it legal in NJ (has a 30 rd mag)?

 

Any insight or comments would be appreciated. This would be my first rifle, I have a pistol and shotgun. I also intend to purchase a Mosin within the next month or so.

 

Thanks!

Adjustable stock = illegal

Bayonet lug in addition to pistol grip = illegal

Flash hider/threads in addition to pistol grip = illegal

30 round magazine = illegal

Wow...not even close. Thanks for the reply, off to do some homework.

This. You can find an FFL who will do the compliance work, but it will cost extra money. The proper way to do this is have the rifle shipped directly to them (which you must do anyway) and have them do the compliance work BEFORE giving you the rifle. If you decide to go this route, whatever you do, DO NOT take possession of any firearm that is in violation of NJ's firearm laws while in the state of NJ.

I would think that the bayonet lug and stock can be made compliant rather easily. What would need to be done to have the flash hider/threads modified? Considering the relatively low price of the gun, would it make sense to have an FFL do the compliance work?

The flash hider would just have to be removed (easy, since it is just threaded on) and a muzzlebrake / compensator would have to be installed in its place and then pinned & welded or silver soldered. I don't want to speak for him, but I believe that PK90 (Arms & Ammo) could do the transfer and all the compliance work for you. You may want to PM him for confirmation and pricing.

 

Adios,

+1 on PK90. It would be a ride for you from Union County, but he's a great guy and runs a top-notch shop. I wouldn't hesitate to make that drive for any sort of compliance work.

Just noticed that the flash suppressor is not removeable: "...includes an “Izzy” Flash Suppressor pinned and welded in place to achieve 16“ overall barrel length."

 

I guess I'll look into their post-ban model or the M&P. Thanks for the advice all.

For the price, might as well assemble your own
