Thinking about building a Krinkov clone.  Any idea if an AK style pistol is legal here?  if so, I'd convert it with a new receiver, barrel extension/shroud and welded/fixed triangle stock.  I think its easier to disassemble an M92 PAP than put something together piece meal.   Any thoughts? 

no way you can have an AK pistol in NJ.. too heavy.. 

 

sorry...

Interesting, not an AK but what about the PLR-16 at 3.4lbs?

50 ounce max

 

A semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following:

 

 

This means that if it is a semi-automatic pistol 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) An ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;

(2) A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor,

forward handgrip, or silencer;

(3) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles the barrel and

that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being

burned;

(4) Manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded

(5) A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm

So the key is “an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip”.  The Kel-Tel almost makes the weight at 54.4oz. As you know you have some S&W revolvers weigh as much as 60 oz. The reason I chimed in was I haven’t purchased a pistol since the OGAM kicked in. I was looking at the current edition of Shotgun News and J&G has the Yugo PAP M85PV on the front page but figured it wasn’t going to be NJ legal, just have to wait until we relocate. Thanks for the clarification and the State statutes  

basically most "cool" "spray and pray" handguns fail the NJ legal test.. 

I've considered building an AK pistol and it would be perfectly legal if you built it with a virgin barrel and didn't bother to drill the gas port which would effectively give you a bolt action pistol. That kind of sucks but an AK pistol is more for the cool factor anyway.

I may have found a way to get r done on a Nodak receiver!!

Revolvers are not considered Pistols, as they are classified as 'Revolvers' and the weight restrictions refer to Semi-Autos which fall under the "Pistol" classification.

Remember - you cannot have a shroud on the barrel................

And also remember to make sure you don't wind up with an SBR

dont forget your receiver needs to be registered as a pistol . and even if its a single shot and you get caught with it , you will need to prove its not a semi . not worth the BS

And also remember to make sure you don't wind up with an SBR
