Hey all, I recently bought a Tavor SAR with a bayonet lug on it.  I was told by the gun shop I purchased it from that the rifle is NJ legal because the wings were cut off, rendering it useless for bayonet mounting.  For those with knowledge on this topic, can you tell me if:

 

A) the wings are indeed cut off

B) in doing so does it really make it NJ legal

 

Thanks for your help.

Tavor's have bayo lugs!? Haha. I didn't think many new-productions rifles had lugs nowadays.

 

I can't tell you much about it though. If I were you, I'd take a grinder and shave the wings completely off. I know some people feel if you can't put a bayo on it even if the ears are shaved .000001mm, but I like to be more safe than sorry.

Are they shaved off. i dont see it being shaved. We usually just cut of off completely.

 

also do you have a muzzle device ?

 

 

The 18" tavor has a bayo not the 16 for reference.

Sure don't look cut off enough for me...

I've decided I'm just going to return it.

I know you'll never tell us, but what shop is it?

I got one from an nj ffl like this once. I just cut the whole thing off myself. Didnt go back to them.

 

Congrats on the tavor, its a great gun. Dont return it just bc of the bago lug. If you have a vice and a saw you can make it compliant.

 

I love mine and have no complaints.

Btw I didnt get the tavor from the ffl, it was a different rifle.

I really appreciate everyone's help. Thanks a lot guys. I'm going to take it back to the shop on Monday. I have a suspicion that I was accidentally given one that hadn't yet been made NJ compliant. Now that I look at it the muzzle break doesn't look pinned. I guess I got one that slipped through the cracks.

If this turns out to be true, thats pretty scary living in this state. Take it back asap

If its a local shop i would way its more then a slip LOL unless he had hundreds of them for sale which i doubt

Drive slow.

Drive slow.

 

 

Hahaha yeah don't get pulled over with that in your car.  No bueno.

Thanks everyone. Before I head up there does anyone know if this looks NJ ok or not? I appreciate it.

 

Edit: never mind. My iPad isn't letting me upload pics

Not sure what you're asking here.  But the photo you uploaded in your first post showing that bayonet lug - that does NOT look to be compliant with NJ law.  Technically, you're in violation of the law to be in possession.

 

If you do go to return it, don't get pulled over on the way, and definitely don't consent to a search.

I was trying to post a pic of the muzzle break. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to do that.
