For further consideration on why I hold the position I do take a look at the Olofson case.

Not to derail the thread, but it's my understanding that Olofson's case was harmed much more by the fact that his rifle could empty a magazine with one trigger pull (when tested by the ATF and using a specific kind of ammo with a very sensitive primer) than the fact his lower had a full-auto marking.

Its been a while but I believe the general consensus was the third marking on the reciever set a perception that was hard to undo with facts. This is always my concern in NJ. When it comes to firearms, it seems the facts have little to do with anything here. Think about it this way, you get pulled over for whatever. Officer asks the common question, any weapons in the car? He takes a look and see's the third marking. What is the likelyhood you are going to continue on your merry way without further delay or complication? We know its cosmetic, but I'm betting its getting siezed right there to prove its cosmetic. Consider that this state seems terribly preoccupied with the cosmetics of an AR doesnt it?

My FFL was telling me that he went on Black Rain's website and said its illegal. Didn't want to be argumentative with him and tell him I don't believe its illegal. He continued on to saying that its considered an assault weapon and then mention something about magazine capacity which I know in NJ is 15. For some reason he talked about how I could change magazines to different capacity with this lower.

 

Your FFL is a moron. New FFL. Ask him if he sells any semi automatic handguns. AS they can all take  various length magazines and could theoretically take more than 15 rounds. 

Still waiting to hear which ffl this is....

Try to work with the FFL's we have here in the forum. Based on my experience, I believe the ones we have here are more knowledgeable about NJ firearms laws.

In all honesty I really would not like to reveal the name of the FFL. I don't feel right about throwing someone under the bus so to speak. I just wanted to get a second opinion on the matter. I thought maybe the research I did on the laws was a wrong interpretation on my part.
