DSI out of NY has a 12.5” AR with a brace thats now legal in NJ and considered a “firearm” and not an NFA item. NJSP Approved and comes with a letter from them. Savage Cerakote in Spotswood NJ is taking orders on them.

Edit: also Troy industries is releasing one as wel

I'd like to see the letter from the NJSP FIU or NJAG first.

Im not sure how it would work for stripped lowers.

But the DSI is $1200 and the Troy is around the same. Im willing to bet a few other companies will jump on the bandwagon soon

dont see where this would be legal with the weight restrictions on pistols or the barrel shroud

Not considered a pistol. Manufactured as an “other firearm”. Has to have the forward grip to remain an other firearm.

interesting...so no pistol permit then.

FPID and COE required if the same treatment as the shockwaves.

Oh, and no AW Ban compliance, which only addresses riles, shotguns and handguns.

Good Luck.

Ha this is a fully rifled barrel.

Not a pistol since it's not designed to be fired with one hand due to the vertical foregrip... And not a rifle because it's not meant to be shouldered due to the brace.

so it's not a pistol not a rifle therefore not covered under any laws

It's pretty simple actually:

Two grips = not "designed to be fired by the use of a single hand" = not a handgun
Brace = not "designed to be fired from the shoulder" = not a rifle
Over 26" OAL = not "capable of being concealed on the person" = not an AOW

ETA: Nothing in NJ law actually prohibits owning an AOW. By this same logic if someone was to sell one of these with say a 7.5" barrel that would be under 26" OAL and an AOW requiring a $5 NFA stamp to transfer, but it should still be legal in NJ being that it isn't "made from a rifle or a shotgun."

So, all I have to do is declare the AR10 and AR15 lowers that are coming in next week to my FFL as "other firearms" and I am good to build anything as long as it is over 26" with vfg and brace?

Correct.

But a stripped lower is by default transferred to you as an "other" anyway...it can't be transferred as a rifle or pistol.

So all those stripped lowers you've bought the past 10 years...you never built those into rifles right? So those can be made into these "other" guns too...Actually I am not sure...even if you did make them into rifles, they probably can be made into "others" still...But check on that. Either way you are good to go.

I think on the safer side of things I would prefer to use lower purchased and transferred after the date of the letter sent to Troy from the NJSP.

To each his own.. kinda silly if you ask me. It's not like the letter suddenly legalized these others...if they are legal, they were legal before and after the letter.

It called good faith and I think it would have some merit in any possible court proceedings.

No I get that...but you could just argue you built it into an other after you read the letter.

All good though. Glad this is an option for all of us behind enemy lines. Now if you guys can just get concealed carry in NJ!

Pretty sure the NJSP would have a hell of a time getting all these new "other firearms" back as most of them will be assembled by their owner.

However, you are dead on about the SP changing their mind.............it's tough when you share a brain.

They're perfectly legal here in PA, out here it's even legal to remove the grip which makes it a handgun rather than the "firearm" configuration it must be in for NJ. Since the barrel length is under 15" it's even legal to carry concealed as well

I have question about these "other" firearms. If one is to shoulder this "other" firearm how does the brace compare to that of a regular stock ? And how much shorter is the overall ength of this compared to the shortest AR15 rifle one could normally have in New Jersey ?

Which make no sense as if change out the forward grip, you have not changed the firearm.  Same thing with the pistol grip or brace.  How do you declare the sum of the parts as being the restricted part?  You can not.

Just build one. There's no law saying you cannot, despite any recommendations floating around out there. If the lowers you have are stripped lowers, were never assembled into a rifle configuration with a stock, were transferred to you as an "other" (they should have been if your FFL did it right), and you follow the specs of the State Police approved versions, you'll be fine. Keep everything >26" from end of buffer tube to end of barrel threads and use a pistol brace + obligatory vertical grip out front.
