I was in the Army in 1973 and want to buy an AR 15 that has the same appearance as my M16. Any ideas as to what I want and costs? Also what are the laws in NJ about having an AR15?

Do you want to build an M16 look alike? Like an M16A1 with triangle handguards and A1 rear sight?

Here's info on the laws.

This will tell you what is legal...

I have the same hankering.

 

Something like this perhaps? : http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=266874964 Jersey legal and close to GI but no bayonet leg, flash suppressor or full auto of course. Also available in 16" carbine length barrel.

You can make a deal with one of our forum gun dealer vendors to make something like this http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct853.aspx NJ compliant. They would have to shave off the bayonet lug, weld a muzzle brake, and sell it with a 15 rnd or less mag.

 

It is a "C-15" rifle using lots of original colt parts. I would just have them verify that the receiver or anywhere on the gun for that matter doesn't say "AR-15" or "CAR-15" because that would make it a ban by "name" rifle.

Look at a Stag Model 4. You can used buy used Trianglar handguards that will fit it for around $18 bucks at Numrich Gun Parts.

 

The gun up top is close. It's a dmps.
