Good morning all, I have a modification question, I currently own a Remington 870 pump action 12 gage shotgun that was purchased in NJ, is it legal to modify to a pistol grip with a telescoping stock or does the stock have to be pinned ? I have browsed over NJ Gun Laws but I cannot seem to find a concrete answer. 

Thanks for the help.

it’s a pump shotgun. do whatever the f**k you want with it, except saw off the barrel. add all the evil features you want.

Welcome Newbie!

You can't find an answer because you're looking for permission to breathe air.  Meaning it's a given that you'll be breathing and since most laws & their penalties are listed for things you can't do, have, own, or transport,  the fact that you got a headache looking for them & couldn't find them means they don't exist.  Just like looking for permission to breathe air... that law doesn't exist either!

Best advice I can give is to stop reading the actual laws of stuff you can't do & concentrate on the EXCEPTIONS & EXEMPTIONS detailing when you CAN act like a Free American.  

Second best advice is to read the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners Black Wire Blog.  It's our electronic newspaper "morgue", a collection of what everybody on our staff writes.  The best 2A news & views to be found anywhere.  https://www.cnjfo.com/News

While you're converting your 870 into a hallway gun / Death Machine with mail-order parts, please consider joining NJ's busiest 2A group HERE:  https://www.cnjfo.com/join-us

If you're on Facebook, check out our page here:  https://www.facebook.com/cnjfo 

You can put a coon-huntin' light on yer 870, as well as a home-made 18 round mag, pistol grip, adjustable stock, laser pointer, and bayonet lug and no one would care.  Change the platform to a semi-auto, and you've made an EVIL weapon of DEATH & DESTRUCTION that earns you 7-10 in the Pokey for an "ASSAULT WEAPON" (whatevva the hell THAT is)  

Stay FROSTY & welcome to NJ gun law!

Here's another taste of NJ gun law by yours truly.  We wrote a check to the Cheeseman-Gillard Supreme Court lawsuit for $11 Grand at this same meeting in So. Jersey.
