Ok, assuming these guns confirm to NJ laws, buying any one of these types of guns would require a pistol permit.

 

I'm thinking of building one from a plain receiver. Question is, do I need a specially designated pistol receiver (If there is such a thing) and use a pistol permit on that? Or can I build/assemble one from any plain receiver without needing a permit?

I don't know the laws about building either pistol, but it looks like you would run into an issue with the SP98K because you could hold it underneath the barrel with your non-support hand.

I did say NJ legal.

That's a big assumption. Before doing anything else I would take a look at the factory specs for commercial versions and check the weight. In order to be Legal in Nj it would HAVE to be under 50 oz in Weight UNLOADED. That said, it SHOULD be a legal build as Recievers arent transferred as Rifles or Pistols, they are transferred as "Other".

The anwser I was looking for. Thanks.

I've seen AR receivers that say "pistol" on them.

All I know is when the laws changed my buddy had to send his out of state......

Did you pay attention to the "Check the Weight" part I posted as well???

If you build an SP89, unless you figure out a way to shave a full 20 oz off of it YOU ARE GOING TO BE COMMITTING A FELONY IN NJ.

I'm fully aware of this, thanks.
