I just bought the Colt Lower on the enclosed Gunbroker link. I know I cannot have the adjustable stock and have already ordered a fixed replacement from a Colt 6940. There is no reference to AR-15 anywhere on the lower. Is there anything other than the stock that would run afoul of NJ's prohibitions?

PART 2: Is there any 'magic' to grinding the bayonet lug off an upper? Just grind and cold blue?

Thanks again

Wow, that's a really pricey lower.

 

About the lug, you just have to search on here, there is a thread on here with pictures on

Where to cut off the lug and more info.

Agreed - my want machine overwhelmed my logic device! I really want a Colt AR - ideally the LE6920 carbine. I know I can't buy it here in the Republik, so my plan is to build it. I think if I change the stock and grind the lug off of the upper I should be good to go. Overall it will cost me about $150 more than buying the complete gun in one piece.

Thanks for suggesting a search. I should have known that! For anyone else following along here: http://njgunforums.c...wn-bayonet-lug/

Don't change the stock. Have your FFL put a pin in it. If you don't own an upper that could turn it into a complete rifle (and make constructive possession), do it yourself. That way you can pin the stock at the correct length for you. Most of the fixed stocks are set at max length. Unless you are big, or plan to mostly shoot from a bench, that is too long for most folks.

Good info, Lunker. Thanks!

 

I don't have the upper yet so, legally, I can pin it myself.

No problem. Just to be clear though, you can't be in possession of ANY upper that would fit on the lower, not just the intended upper. In other words, if you already have an AR, any AR upper you buy must be trrated as a whole rifle (i.e. AWB compliant). Good luck. I have the NJ neutered Colt 6940. Great rifle. I have been accused of being an AR snob though.

Snobs is us and snobs is good!

 

Thanks again!
