Can someone point me to the chapter and paragraph, that defines what is and isn't legal as far as "Assault Weapons" parts?? I have found the named list, and reference to "conspicuous" pistol grip. But I can't find anything on the flash-hider/muzzle brake, bayo lug etc. I see them talked about, and how you can't have more than one, but where is the "list" or codification of the components. I have worked out a way to weld, a block into my mags, to restict them to 14 rds, now I just need to find out what else needs to be done to my DSA, Coonan, and Entreprise, FAL clones to bring them into compiance so they aren't evil anymore. Thanks!!

Why only 14 and not 15?

It is actually part of the NJ Administrative Code (NJAC) under "Definitions" which is NJAC 13:54-1.2. Here is the paragraph for rifles

 

i. A semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following:

(1) A folding or telescoping stock;

(2) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;

(3) A bayonet mount;

(4) A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and

(5) A grenade launcher;

 

Keep in mind when you are looking at this list, if you already have a pistol grip, then anything else on the list would be the second item which makes it a prohibited weapon.

 

There is a separate paragraph for handguns, but your Coonan should be fine.

 

Adios,

You were probably looking under 2C, which is actual law. The evil features list is in the Administrative Code under Title 13, which is a former AG's interpretation of the law. There have been some lengthy debates on this forum as to how enforceable the AC is on regular people, so I won't get into that now, just understand that the NJSP IS considering it the law of the land in NJ and most people are not looking to become the test case and think it's best to comply.

 

Also, 2C says mags must be blocked to no more than 15 rounds, but does not specify how. The AC says they must be permanently blocked, but does not define "permanently" - welding is widely accepted as "permanent".

Why 14 and not 15?? Well it's an even number, and provides that there is no error by overloading the mag. You have to leave a little bit more to actually load the mag, and an overzealous LEO, may try to jam an extra in. Blocked at 14, maybe he gets 15 in, certainly not 16.

 

Thanks for the info, at least now I can make informed decisions!

the law is 15.. do not limit yourself because of unreasonable paranoia.. if 15 is tight.. there is no way 16 is getting in there.. and as said on the forum often.. if you get to the point where LEO is trying to shove rounds into your magazine.. then you have already drawn some VERY unusual attention to yourself..

 

alternately you can buy mags that have been professionally modified to ONLY accept 15.. then the worry is not yours..
