Are they legal in NJ? I know the regulations regarding the 5 "offensive" characteristics but I was under the impression that AKs are on the banned list and illegal unless they are significantly different in form (Ive heard the single stack mag version is ok). A double stack AK was offered to me for sale and I want to make sure its legal. Im not sure of the manufacturer so any imput would be appreciated regarding what versions/models/manufacturers are legal and illegal. Thank you in advance.

It could be a WASR 10. It looks like an AK with wood furniture, no bayonet lug, and a 10-round double stack magazine.

 

As long as it's a 15-round or less mag, your fine.

 

AK's are just like AR's. You can't have an actual AK-47 just like you can't have an actual Armalite AR-15. You can have clones as long as they are semi-auto and don't have any of the substantially identical items (bayonet lug, collapsible stock, etc).

In NJ, there is a banned by name list.

 

AK47 is on it. So anything that starts with AK is banned. Now, there are plenty of other variants that are legal.

 

WASR10's, AMD's, Saigas.

 

this is what happens when the laws are written by politicians.

I thought monkeys wrote the laws and the Pols just signed them.

There are plenty that are legal. Just make sure they are in post ban configuration. Here's a pic of a few of mine all NJ legal.

Thanks for the input... I may pick it up after all. :mrgreen:

Check this link. If a semi-auto has a detachable mag, a folding stock and a pistol grip, it is illegal.

You may have some real problems with the bottom rifle. Did you purchase it from an NJ retailer after 1992? You should only pruchase from an NJ retailer or check with an NJ attorney that is familiar with NJ firearms law. Needleman in Montville is good.

Thanks for your concern but it's not needed. The bottom rifle as all of the above are perfectly NJ legal.

 

The stock is pinned and welded in the open position. The bayonet lug is shaved so one will not attached and they all have the 5 necessary US made parts to be 922r Federal compliant.

 

And yes there were all transfed to me by a NJ FFL.

Is it necessary to weld if the stock has been pinned? I only ask because I

That's good to hear. Sounds like you did your homework.
