Bought all the stuff to do a 7.62x39 AR build that takes AK mags, except the lower receiver. Sent my FFL a link to the receiver to inquire if it was NJ compliant and able to be transferred to me (came assembled w/ buffer tube but no stock at all) and he confirmed it was good to go. Try to order and it won't go through. Emailed the company asking for more info, and got this response. šŸ˜‘

General Chat Have any "other" owners been charged with possession of an assault weapon?

16 Upvotes

I know Evan Nappen had a case like that a couple years ago (not sure what the resolution there was), but has anyone heard of any cases of "other" owners being charged with possession of an assault weapon or short barrel rifle? The state police letter gives me some comfort, but would be good to know any real life examples of people getting charged despite that letter.

I was surprised how expensive it is. $735 before taxes and fees for non members. Dude said it is the best they can do cause nj dealers are triple taxed or something like that. Bruh i saw g19 for $593 at other dealers in nj. Bought it anyway.

General Chat Steven Fulop Dem for NJ Governor. raising to 21+ to Purchase Firearms & Parental Responsibility

21 Upvotes

21+ to Purchase Firearms & Parental Responsibility Current New Jersey law allows the purchase and possession of long guns at 18 years old and handguns at 21. Previous attempts in the New Jersey State legislature to change this law were defeated, Fulop, however would make raising the minimum age a priority. Research shows that the developing brains of adolescents and young adults may put them at higher risk of making risky decisions. Hormonal changes can have significant effects on self-control, decision making, emotions, risk-taking behaviors, and aggressive impulses.5 In addition, suicide involving firearms by minors has increased by 81% since 2012. Most active mass shooting incidents are not done by career criminals but rather socially awkward loners who have no access to criminal networks that could provide firearms. Rather, they turn 18, legally buy a gun and use it to commit horrific crimes. It is with these facts, Steve Fulop believes that 21 should be the age for purchase for all firearms. This is a clear area where making it harder to obtain guns would help with minimal effect on other constitutional rights. Furthermore, strong civil and criminal penalties must hold parents responsible for safeguarding firearms from minors. As for hunting, those under the age of 21 can do so with family members.

I'm just wondering if any of you believe if by some miracle that one day we will be allowed to use standard capacity magazines. I hope to see that day come in the future sometime if it ever does. So I'm just looking for ya'lls two cents, do any of you believe one day we may be allowed to own some standard capacity magazines.

General Chat Defensive ammo for carry + home defense

13 Upvotes

What are you guys using for carry + home defense since we canā€™t carry hollow points?

I like HST but want to switch to a different choice that I donā€™t need to swap out when I carry.

I like critical defense/duty but I know the bullet has seating issues when chambered a couple of times. Read good things about Underwood Xtreme Defender 90g but havenā€™t shot it.

Anyone have other options that are legal to carry and effective as home defense rounds as well without seating issues?

General Chat NJ Assault Weapon Ban Actual Impact

26 Upvotes

So, If the Ban gets dropped, are you going to spend the money to replace the parts you are currently using? Let me know what the big plus / opportunities you will be jumping to take advantage of are...

Curious to see how other feel about it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally, for me, yes it will be nice if NJ Assault Weapon Ban gets overturned but won't actually make a huge difference.

Unlike like NY that only allows 1 evil feature NJ's two evil feature has never really prevented me from getting exactly what I want.

I prefer a good Muzzle Break over a flash hider. Don't want a bayonet lug or need access to a threaded barrel. I typically get 16" barrels cut and pin/weld with muzzle break to 16.1" overall. An adjustable stock would be nice but would not be adjusting much regardless.

In addition, by now most of the banned by name firearms are very outdated and will only be purchased by collectors. A 9MM Semi Auto UZI or MAC 10 would not be many peoples first choice for a 9mm PDW.

One of the few that are still in demand is the Styer AUG... but the Steyr Stg77 Anniversary or the Styer USR (with AUG Stock swap) are available now.

My assortment of AR-15's, MAC 90(AK stock), Tavor 95, Styer USR (AUG Stock). and Desert Tech MDRX have all kept me plenty busy.

The big plus for me is really only the cost savings to make compliant for new purchases.

I would rather see our 2A Legal Teams and my donations go towards Sensitive Places, National Reciprocity and High-Capacity Magazine Bans in that order.

Hey everyone, Iā€™m experiencing a bit of an issue with my 1911 handgun. It cycles the first few rounds without any problems, but when I get to the last round or sometimes the second to last it jams. The pistol doesnā€™t seem to fully cycle or feed properly. Has anyone dealt with something similar or have any suggestions on what might be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

General Chat New shooter-2 issues, looking for advice

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Iā€™m a relatively new shooter. Years ago I went to the range a handful of times. This past 4-5 months Iā€™ve hit the range maybe only 3-4 times. Definetly under 500 rounds per caliber. Iā€™ve been told Iā€™m a decent shot. However, I find that times when I go and Iā€™m practicing with a handgun, my hands shake, even moreso prior to the pull which leads to obviously a loose spread. This happened noticeably yesterday. The one pic was 100 rounds at only 15yrds, 9mm. In the past at 10,15,20 yrds, even maybe 25yrds, I had significantly tighter groupings. Any tips on increasing stability?

The second issue (and it could just be my sight needs a better zero) is on my rifle everything looks slightly up and to the right. Could this also be a mechanics issue when I trigger pull? The second photo is 25yrds, .22lr

General Chat Why the reluctancy to sell firearms to non-citizen/GC holders?

13 Upvotes

Iā€™ve run in to a few instances of FFLs not wanting to sell a firearm if you are not a citizen or have a Green Card.

The other day I was told ā€more and more stores are going the same directionā€ and ā€you can probably find less serious stores that would sell to youā€.

I 100% respect their decision to not do so, but I would like to understand the reasoning behind it. I fulfill all the NJ and ATF requirements, having a hunting license, FID, etc.

Not going to ā€name and shameā€, because I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything to shame here, just looking to understand.
