Is there any way to make a Ruger Charger NJ legal, such as a "permanent" nondetachable magazine say like a standard SKS with a Charger Lite if there is such a variety?

I was unaware they will illegal as a pistol.

Too heavy. Barrel shroud. Threaded barrel. 

Only way to make it NJ legal is for an FFL08 to remove the forward stock which surrounds the barrel and pin the barrel nut on.

Oh. The FFL08 then must engrave his info on it. Good luck.

Has a threaded barrel

Mag is inside grip.

The Beretta M9A3 is also under 50oz, has a mag that fits in the grip, and it doesn’t have a barrel shroud. So the threaded barrel is acceptable. 

REMINDER OF NJ ASSAULT WEAPON

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;

I do recall a number of years back there were people who did sell the Ruger Charger pistol. Of course, does not mean it was legal.

But yes, weight, mag forward/outside of the grip. 

Any HG with the magwell outside the Pistol grip comes into the Weight & Barrel Shroud issue

If the Mag is inside the PG no problem (Example: Desert Eagle .50AE - way over 50 oz.) lol

Looking at the Shot Show coverage... can’t wait to get out of NJ. The FightLite MXR is definitely going on my list... along with the PTR 9CT (MP5 clone).

If Ruger would shave .00001 oz off the weight, it could be legal by just turning down the barrel threads.

Specs should read "49.999 oz weight".
