I just recently got my firearms purchaser ID card, and was wondering if that is all I need to purchase a Mosin nagant?

Yes sir.

Ok great! I've been reading up on NJs ridiculous gun laws and found some of it rather confusing. What would qualify as a C & R rifle? I guess better question is what rifle could I NOT purchase legally.

As long as the rifle is NJ legal and compliant you can purchase it with your NJ FID card, there is no time limit / quantity limit , etc for long guns ( shot guns / rifles , etc )

 

There are some limitations with rifles per nj that include adjustable stocks, pistol grips, bayonet lugs, etc.

 

this thread has alot of good info:

Handguns are a whole different beast.

So I would be within the law to purchase a Mosin Nagant M44?

Yep.

Great! Now I just need to find out where to buy one. Where do you suggest?

I bought mine from aimsurplus. Decent shape, good shooter.

Ill check it out, thank you so much for your help. Im still studying all of NJs laws. I haven't even applied for a handgun permit yet, thought I want to eventually.

be aware of the following rules:

2. Long gun purchases by

....A. NJ resident from

........(1) NJ dealer = NICS check with a FPID, COE and Photo ID

........(2) NJ resident = face to face with a FPID, COE with Photo ID suggested

........(3) Out-of-state dealer = NICS check with a FPID, COE and Photo ID

........(4) Out-of-state resident = must be transferred through

............a. NJ dealer = NICS check with a FPID, COE and Photo ID or

............b. Out-of-state dealer = NICS check with a FPID, COE and Photo ID

I currently just have the FPID card issued by the Police department of my town. I was under the impression my background check was already down when I applied for the ID.

If you buy from any FFL they will run a NICS check on the phone for you while you are there. Check with Tony, a forum Supporter here called TJ Sporing Arms, a lot of us bought some really nice Mosins from him and he might have some left. What part of the state are you from?

I live in north Jersey in Essex county.
