Okay, I have read the pinned "is insert any semi auto rifle" legal and tried the search feature regarding this but still have a question. I think I know the answer but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

 

Is an Erma Werke .22 M1, such as this one Here NJ legal?

 

From what I've read here my assumption is a big fat NO. The reason I'm asking is that I saw a post on another forum stating that this M1 was NJ legal.

 

Thanks,

It is not an USGI M1. It is a ERMA Model E M1... not named by name. My take is if it is not on the list, it is legal.

Wow, I didn't realize the "evil" name list was that specific. I thought any M1 "type" was a no go. I'm new at this so please forgive me. Well actually, I've been shooting off and on for 40 years, more off than on, but my son is interested in the sport so we're looking into adding to the collection.

 

Thanks again.

To make it as clear and confusing as possible, I give some facts.

 

1. By law, "M1 Carbine Type" is a NJ assault weapon.

2. 99% of government and commercial issued firearms are stamped "US Carbine" "CAL 30 M1".

3. The 1996 NJAG Guideline and current Admin Code says if a firearm is on the list, it must comply with the evil feature count.

4. The AutoOrdnance "US Carbine" "CAL 30 ML" was approved for 7 days by the NJSP, but then disallowed at the direction of the NJAG.

5. The current NJAG will prosecute anyone that possesses a "M1 Carbine Type" even if it complies with their directive.

6. “When dealing with guns, the citizen acts at his own peril,” (State v. Pelleteri)

Should be a sticky.

Wow. Just wow. I've never seen that one before. That is enraging.

Well my heads a spinning now. Given that dreadful point #6 (thanks NJ) it's obvious that the safe call is a no. Bummer too, it's a nice little plinker.

I had one , I picked it up at a NJ dealer a couple years ago and it was a pos ! so I traded it in,,

 

JUST GET A 10/22 or pick up a used mini 14 ,

I paid 400.00 for the 22 erma and 450.00 for my mini 14
