I am looking into purchasing a rifle and a new pistol. I am looking into the ak type variant thats legal in Jersey. But I am not completely sure what kind is legal in NJ? What kind of stock would I be able to have on it? Would I be able to get a folding stock or would have to keep it with the standard full stock to keep it legal?

 

Also, is the Sig p226 DAK worth it right now? Or should I wait until the new model comes out soon that fixes the flaw in the design? Or just stick with the classic 226r that I have come to love renting at the shooting ranges.

I don't know if you have already but read through this My link It will explain alot of what you can and can't have. I have a Zastava PAP, which is an AK variant that I really like.

I have a Mak-90 which is NJ legal and I love it. Just make sure the bayo lug is shaved. I saw a few on gunbroker today that were going for $600-ish.

also relevant..

Awesome, thanks for the help guys.

Any info on the new model of the sig 226 drops?

Also, is the Sig p226 DAK worth it right now? Or should I wait until the new model comes out soon that fixes the flaw in the design? Or just stick with the classic 226r that I have come to love renting at the shooting ranges.

 

 

I am unfamiliar with any flaw in the P226 - DAK or otherwise. Care to enlighten us?

I read it on the sig wiki cause everything on there is true. I will link to it when I get home.

 

(Joking about wiki always being true)

I read it on the sig wiki

 

 

Your statement so intrigued me that I went there myself. Here's what Wiki says...

 

"The pistol can be cocked by pulling the trigger just past the trigger reset, then stopping, then releasing. This is perhaps an unintentional design flaw"

 

The person that wrote that doesn't know their a$$ from their elbow. There is no "full-cock" notch on a DAK firearm - they are double-action only. As such the hammer will always follow the slide down to the hammer intercept notch - a safety feature on Sigs - In the notch the hammer is about 25% rearward of the slide, which the Wiki person is mistaking for being cocked.

 

.

 

If you pull the trigger, fully, with an unloaded gun, the hammer will remain be in the fully down position in contact with the inertial firing pin, since the slide hasn't cycled to reset the trigger. With a live round in the gun, the slide cycles and the hammer follows the slide down to the hammer intercept notch to prevent contact with the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. The bonehead that wrote the Wiki piece probably started with the hammer all the way down, started to pull the trigger and then released it before it the hammer was all the way back - in this case the hammer will fall only to the intercept notch.

 

There is no design flaw with the P226, DAK, DAO or DA/SA, buy one of the finest handguns made with confidence. You won't be sorry. Make sure you know how the DAK system works before you invest in one, some people love 'em, some hate 'em. I'll PM the OP an explanation I wrote about the DAK system.

 

Adios,
