Is the AB10 legal in NJ? I know the TEC-9 is illegal (If I recall) but what about the AB-10? Here is a pic:

 

On the AB-10 JR (as shown) is legal due to being under 50oz.

 

The std AB-10 has a barrel shroud which makes it illegal due to the 

shroud & the weight.

 

Then again, you need to have the mags blocked to 15 rds.

 

I have one of these in my personal collection, mine is the AP-9 - cool gun!

So the one I posted is a no go? Just wanted to confirm. Sorry for the dumb question didn't want to pull the trigger and get one only to find out it's illegal

By standard AB-10, do you mean the TEC-9 configuration with the long barrel shroud? The AB-10 I'm looking at in the pic has no shroud.

 

I couldn't find any AB-9 or the AB-10 "JR" versions, I've not un the up and up with intratec firearms so I have no idea...

My bad - When I said the AB-10 JR (as shown) - I was referring to your photo.

 

I then added a photo of my AP-9 and it got you confused.

 

Your photo is of an AB-10 JR and it is legal in New Jersey (as long as the mag is 15 or less)

A "JR" is w/o the barrel shroud

 

AB-10's and AP-9,s both come in two configuration

Std = with Shroud

JR =  w/o shroud

very cool, what do these go for?

Thanks JT!

 

I'm buying several different pistols and having an FFL in central/north Jersey hold them until I'm 21 in September (will apply for a pistol purchase exemption sine I'm building a pistol collection and shifting from rifles to pistols).

 

@RUTGERS95 Purchased this for $300 including shipping to the FFL, need to send out a check and of course wait until I'm 21 w/ permits to take possession. They seem to go for $250-$400 average.

 

I also found a out of state guy to pin the mags for me

 

Really neat to own a AB-10, always wanted to have a TEC-9 to play with and this is as close as it gets in NJ

BTW, 10 round mags exist for these, too.

 

anyway, off to work

Interesting. I think I want one.

Personally, I'd save my money for something better.

just curious - Why should he save his money for something better?

If it appeals to him, and he wants one for his collection - what is the problem?

Just because you don't care for it, doesn't mean someone else should spend their money differently.....................

VERY difficult to find - believe me, I've looked!

 

Best way to block the mags for this gun is to dis-assemble the mag; remove the two lower

plates (floor plate & shoe).

The floor plate is the inner plate that the spring hooks to - weld a bolt to that plate long enough to

prevent the follower from coming down any farther than 15rds and your good to go!

 

Good Luck!

Blow back operated goodness!!

i didn't tell him what to do, I said what I would do. Over time I found people regret this sort of purchase

I wouldn't be one to regret it, I've always wanted one to hang on the wall (I have a lockable wall cage). For $300 I can't complain, if I hate it I'll sell it back or I can do to get it running as close to 100% as possible.

 

I VERY rarely shoot pistols, I VERY rarely shoot rifles/shotguns. I enjoy purchasing firearms to display/collect and shoot them once in a great while....sell them and start with something new again. I'm not a match shooter or one of those that works the firing line every week (usually 4 times per year!)

 

I would rather collect the odds and ends (vest/pocket pistols, the AB-10's, etc.) and at the end of the day buy a good S&W wheel gun or semi for home protection.

I'll be looking into the blocked mags versus the 10rd mags, the blocked mags give the AB-10 the correct look and you are defiantly right, the hi-cap mags are cheap compared to the factory 10 rounders and pinning/blocking them from a guy I know is $5 per mag.

JT, Good point, everyone is different and everyone has different taste when it comes to firearms.

 

If I was in the market for a HD handgun, it wouldn't be a TEC-9/AB-10 but since this is for display I would rather put that extra money towards a 22 Ruger target pistol and a wheel gun.

 

Anyway JT, Thank you for your helpful insight and please people...let's all get along!
