Are they any good options for a NJ legal AK74? I know I could find an old Century SAR-2 rifle but I wanted to see if there was anything else out there. Or perhaps there are some out there with bayo lugs, and threaded barrels that could be bought online and sent to a NJ FLL who also does gunsmith work to make them NJ legal ?

arsenal makes a 5.45 but pricey at the $1300 mark , atlantic firearms has 74s but all will need to be made nj compliant ,your pretty limited in the 74 range for nj  I have 2 of the sar-2"s and you can find them pretty much nj compliant  . theres the big oaks gun show this weekend you may find one there at a good price , I bought one of mine there last year .

Are there any FFL's that would accept delivery of a non compliant AK74 that would then make it legal? And would any of the places you mentioned even ship it to NJ anyway? That might be the tricky part...

I believe mastodon does compliant work, and im sure they can take delivery and do the work .

Get a Waffenwerks. Best bang-for-the-buck 74 out there right now.

buy ones, you cry ones. Try to find an older Vepr(~$900-$1000) or a SLR104($1,300) Or if you are in a budget, get the SAR2.

You could also convert a saiga

Also jet agent will take a 74 and make it compliant for you. The problem with 74's in nj is trying to find 15 round mags..they are next to impossible to find. Most people use 10 rounders.

I've seen a lot of negatives reviews on the in-house made receivers by WW... crooked rivets mostly.

 

Anyone have one of the newer WW receivers to confirm?

 

I'm in the market for a 74 too but can't decide on one

just buy an SAR 2, they are nice rifles and not a whole lot worse than an sgl31, in fact I felt that my SAR 2's were made better than my sgl31

I have great experience with Waffenwerks. Solid rifle and the rivets were fine.
