so I had asked about the 7.62mm receivers' legality. All is well with them.
How about Fulton Armory? They are labeled: US Rifle 7.62mm, M14. Is the terminology of "M14" a no-no in NJ?
Are there any receivers that are not good to go assuming the rifle is in proper configuration?
Thanks again.

Is your question: Legal? or Hassel-free?

Only the S-type is banned. The standard M14 is good to go. Perfectly legal to own in NJ.
Now, hassle-free? You should probably carry a copy of the prohibited weapons list and a description of the S-type in your rifle case.
And finding a FFL willing to do the transfer... that's up to you.

Key content:
... Polytech Industries M14S rifles in the U. S. are generally regarded as pre-94 ban.
... If a Chinese made M14 rifle was not assembled with sufficient U. S. made parts prior to 09/13/94 (to allow installation of a flash suppressor per the March 1989 import ban) the rifle must comply with the 1994 ban on semi-automatic rifle features. It is best for the owner of a Chinese made M14 rifle to check with the U. S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regarding a specific rifle serial number.
... The Presidential Executive Order import ban of March 1989 affected the Chinese M14 rifles brought into the United States.

That's weird... all the photos I see are just M14 marked. hmmm. The way I read the NJ statute it is not banned. More confusion.

It's called FUD––Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. When in FUD, say "NO!"
Many out-of-state business are ultra-conservative in interpreting NJ Law. Lawyers are expensive and it only takes one employee screwing up one time to wipe out all the profit you can make from doing business here for years.
