Featured Replies

All I need to get a stripped lower is FID card am I right....

Looking to start my build as soon as I get my FID..Just did my finger prints today the officer at my local police station said it should take around 30 days

I have been 21 for the last 10 yrs.....lol

 

You also need to be 21 YOA if buying from a dealer.

Slightly off topic, but since an AR lower can be used to make an AR pistol, how would one go about buying an AR lower to make an AR pistol in NJ?

 

Or am I misunderstanding things and an AR pistol has to be manufactured from the factory to be a pistol.

I have no idea..I'm new to this but IMO AR pistols are ugly and a waste

I completely agree, but some people like them... To each their own.

Its hard to make an ar pistol in nj and still comply with the gun laws. No handguards/barrel shroud, weight limit, etc.

 

AFAIK, the carbon 15 ban compliant version is the only legal one.

No pistol currently manufactured wil be NJ legal due to the weight issue. One may acquire an AR stripped lower with a Pistol Permit and attempt to build one. However, it is not possible to keep the weight under 50 ounces with a standard AR lower. Been there, done that.

 

There were three AR pistols manufactured that are NJ legal:

Bushmaster Carbon-15 Type 97 Picture

Professional Ordnance Carbon 15 Picture

Olympic Arms OA-98 Picture

 

If you acquire a stripped polymer AR lower with a Permit to Purchase, it may be possible to build one. The barrel will have to made lightweight with some machine work.
