Is a threaded flash hider for a pistol legal in NJ?

Picked up an HK with a threaded barrel. I know suppressors are a no-no but the flash hider would be cool.

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

(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; and/or

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

 

Says nothing about a flash hider.

Right there it does Nick.

But why would you want to?

 

As Malcom would say ... "so preoccupy weather or not they could, they forgot to ask if they should"

I thought a flash hider and a flash suppressor are one in the same. However, I don't see any practical reason to put one on.

OP just as Krdshrk pointed out, don't forget it must have TWO evil features  

Right there it does Nick.

 

It says a threaded barrel that accepts a flash suppressor. The FH is not evil, the barrel is. But as pointed out, it is only one feature.

That was not lost on me.

Flash hiders are not illegal. Having a threaded barrel that accepts a flash hider makes it one evil feature.
