no but one is not needed to own or use one. if the unlikely event of you being questioned about it just say you lost it. no one will think twice about it. FFS some people take this shit way to seriously.

...really? Op asked what he NEEDS to do....I considered it as a question as in letter of law....not personal opinions based on internet rebellion ......

 

It's not the loaded mag question where someone is advising more than the law......it's simply just FOLLOWING the law.....I'm sure there are people riding dirty daily(carrying concealed without a license)...but that's a personal choice..and shouldn't be given as advice....

New serial numbered rifle should have gone to ffl of original sale. New COE filled out and new NICS should have been done. Sucks but thats the legit way.

Henery is an FFL,  no need to have a FFL ship it to them.... You can ship directly to any firearm manufacture, and visa versa.

If this is the case and being in nj shouldn't they have sent a Coe along with it? Or contacted him for him to send a copy of do/fpid? ......I'm not suggesting that he will be swooped down upon by the Feds for arms violations....but as substantiated by an FFA and a Leo (well versed in the buying of firearms lol) in the thread....there should be a matching Coe for the new serial numbered rifle now in his possession....

Not for nothin', sometimes I cant help but to feel like gun ownership in NJ is like a goto jail license. 

 

The craziest part is, its “LEGAL” gun ownership…

well no guns are legal. there are just certain exemptions where we are allowed to possess them...

Well I got an update. As per my ffl no long guns are registered in NJ. They say there is nothing to be done on my part. They did say I should keep all paperwork from the original as well as the new rifle. The customer service rep from the manufacture did not have answer but told me he would get one. I just received a call back from him and according to a supervisor there at Henry they are an ffl and they handled everything on there end. They also told me that the reason it took so long to send me a replacement (One month) is because they were doing the required paperwork in order to take back the faulty gun and issue the new.

Thanks to everyone for their inputs. I thought this would be an easy answer. I did not anticipate the debate.

So now I have a gorgeous Henry 357 Big Boy that I can't wait to get to the range and have some fun.

On a different forum a guy had a problem with a handgun. He sent it back to Springfield Armory and they sent him a new firearm with a new serial number along with a letter stating that the new gun was a replacement for the old gun and he's good to go. I don't think he was in NJ though.

Also, this is a long gun and thankfully NJ is not as crazy with rules about them as handguns. As long as you have documentation showing the replacement with serial numbers, you at the very least have a good defense.

Do I have to go to the police station to get COE's? I see the form on the State Police website but it says there's a white, yellow and pink copy. If I print out 3 they are gonna all just be white.

 

EDIT: I was reading the wrong one. There is only a yellow and a white and it says "If internet form, make and sign two copies."
