Does anyone know if this compensator is NJ legal? I am wondering because it states that it can accomodate a suppressor. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

It says it's classified as a non-flash suppressing device by BATFE, and the NJ law that mentions "capable of accepting a suppressor" is in reference to a threaded barrel. Unless I'm missing something, it appears to be legal.

Yes. with a pin/weld.. I dunno.. FSC556 is GTG with pin/weld.

 

**ETA.. the document they link to from the SM556 page says FSC556 specifically and not the SM556..

The sight says that the FSC series are all apporved. I sent an email to PWS asking for further clarification as well. I'll post here if I get any info.

Ok here is the answer I received from PWS. Seems to be legal.

 

The SM556 is a open port compensator, just as the FSC556 is. Under the ATF definitions of a compensator vs a flash hider, the SM556 is definitely not a flash hider. Each ban state has their own interpretation of these definitions but at this time the SM556 is considered to be a 50 state legal device. We ship MK114 rifles and uppers with this device attached to NY and other ban state residents all the time. Thank you sir!
