Is only the Colt AR-15 illegal in NJ or is it bad news to have any other brand receiver also marked AR-15? I've seen a lot of talk online about it, but was not too sure of the consensus.

Yeah, to me that means any AR-15 is good as long as it doesn't also say Colt, but I was hoping maybe someone else with more experience in the matter, maybe even someone who lives in NJ and owns some other branded AR-15, could chime in and tell me it should be ok.

No colt ar15.

 

All others are by the evil feature list.

 

Awesome, thanks. Trying to buy a few lowers if possible and wanted to make sure since I saw some marked AR-15 even though they weren't Colts.

Some Colt AR's are ok.

AFAIK, no other manufacturer marks their AR as "AR-15". The closest is Rocker River Arms "LAR-15", which is still legal.

And sabre has (had?) the XR-15 which could be easy to confuse looking at their crappy stamping

 

EDIT: it appears bushmaster sells an XM-15 but I keep seeing results come up under bushmaster XR-15. I assume "bushmaster xr-15" are mistakes though

Some Colt AR's are ok.

 

Yeah, they just can't say "Colt AR-15" LOL

 

They say "Colt" and maybe "6920"

For what it's worth my FFL just said no problem.

Colt is the "law enforcement carbine" or something like that
