So what's the latest on this? Has the Franklin Armory XO-26 been now declared as NJ legal just because it's manufactured directly as a "weapon", not a rifle, handgun, or shotgun per the definitions of those in NJ law, and labelled accordingly, so it's an "Other/Weapon" on the form 4473?

I'd like to read up on the federal regulations of transferring a firearm a bit.

No dice. A firearm other than a rifle or shotgun must be purchased or transferred through a FFL in the purchaser's state. (Purchaser must be 21 years or older to purchase a firearm other than a rifle or shotgun)

@runcibleman

There is precedence in NJ that a firearm is legal with examples such as the Shockwave, Troy, Dark Storm, and Modern Materiel firearms.  Franklin Armory was marketing their Reformation firearm to NJ residents. You can contact @Franklin Armory and ask directly about the XO-26 R2 if you'd like. Unfortunately the BFS trigger is not legal per NJ law. 

If FA is willing to send one to a NJ FFL your challenge is going to be finding a FFL that knows the law to transfer it to you. It's not impossible, but I think you will need to look around.

Good luck and I'm curious to know the results.
