Ok, finally got a saiga 12 today. Can I have a collapsible stock with NO pistol grip. Is this NJ legal?

Suggest looking up the SHOTGUN regulations..

 

The other issue is the detachable mag and semi-auto issue and how that would play into it..

 

Have you tried the Saiga 12 Forums??

Ok. I'll try the saiga forum. Thank you

 

No need to farm out to a generic forum where state law is the issue.. Is it legal? All in the NJ Gun Laws section.

A semi-automatic shotgun that has at least two of the following:

 

This means that if it is a semi-automatic shotgun and has a detachable magazine it can have ONE of the following features and still be legal, but if it has two or more, then it would not be legal.

 

 

(1) A folding or telescoping stock;

(2) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;

(3) A fixed magazine capacity in excess of six rounds;

**note(having (1 - Folding stock) (2) or (3) on a semi auto shotgun makes the gun automatically illegal even if NO other evil features are present..)**

(4) An ability to accept a detachable magazine;

 

 

OR

 

 

A semi-automatic shotgun with either a magazine capacity exceeding six rounds, a folding stock

or a pistol grip;

 

It is important to note that the law states that the following is to be considered an assault weapon.

 

(3) A semi-automatic shotgun with either a magazine capacity exceeding six

rounds, a pistol grip, or a folding stock.

 

 

 

Example

1) A Saiga 12 (which is a semi automatic shotgun ). LEGAL

2) A Saiga 12 (which is a semi automatic shotgun ) with a pistol grip. ILLEGAL

 

Since "pistol grip" is a term NJ uses to describe a feature, it is important to know what NJ deems a pistol grip.

Take notice that it does not say fired comfortably with one hand.. it simply says fired..

 

"Pistol grip" means a well defined handle, similar to that found on a handgun, that protrudes

conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, and which permits the firearm to be held and fired

with one hand.

Thank you very much.

You can't have a folder or a collapsing stock or a pistol grip on a Saiga 12 in NJ.

You are seriously limited in this state with how fun your saiga 12 is and can be. Thankfully it is quite enjoyable out of the box
