Question is: Would it be legal to construct something as this in NJ?

Making a pistol into a rifle? Seems OK as long as you keep the overall length and barrell length above the minimums.

Thoughts?

Don't think that would be NJ Legal.....

I know its still early in the morning.. but why not?

 

I think that's ok.. It's not a semi-auto.. so you are not subject to evil features list.

 

And as long as the barrel is over 16", your good to go federally.

 

the 26" minimum length applies to the rifle when it's stock is in the "open" position, AFAIK.

 

And its well known that you can go from pistol to rifle (With a few exceptions relevant to the Ban List), but NOT the other way around. (Glock Carbines, 1911 Carbines, Etc).

I thought Glock carbines weren't legal in NJ?

Why not? I think you just have to adhere to the evil features count as if it was a rifle.

carbines made by putting a stock on a pistol were a BATFE gray area until recently when they finally made up their minds about it. SO as long as you put a 16" barrel on it when you put the stock on it, it's legal as far as they are concerned and hasn't become a rifle or SBR for all time. I don't see why that would be illegal in NJ.

Ahh ok there you go.... nevermind then

Ehh. Yea it deserves "cool points". Other than that, I don't think it's that interesting.
