I need something that does not violate NJ AWB laws







I cant have a flash hider and do not want a muzzle brake. Id like some sort of compensator that looks high speed. It cant have threads (like the AAC comps) and must be permanently attached; therefore Im going with a 14.5 inch barrel. So the muzzle device must bring me to 16.1. Another roadblock is that it cannot fail the "pinky test." If you can stick you pinky in the end of it it is a no-go.










Halp!












ETA: Perhaps a BC 1.5?

Rebar cutter? Can't find one without a flashider

Here is a muzzle brake that doesn't look like a muzzle brake

Of course its after I built all mine just the way I like and now I have to go featureless.

I know you said no muzzle brake, but during the federal AWB I had an AK74 brake I bought from bushmaster pinned and welded onto my M4 clone I had at the time. If I had to have a muzzle device that was not a flash suppressor, thats what I would have again. No blast or noise directed back at the shooter, did a fair job of keeping the muzzle down during rapid fire.

Does the 5C1 count as a flash suppressor or a muzzle brake/compensator?

I've had great success playing with some of the uber cheap ebay offerings but you may not want to pin and weld one of those onto a rifle.

ebay comp

Also the carlson mini comp if you still want to do 16" but keep it short.

The battlecomp is a good choice, but pricey.  Maybe something from griffin if you want to save some cash.

A. semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following:







  1. a folding or telescoping stock;

  2. a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;

  3. a bayonet mount;

  4. a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and

  5. a grenade launcher;













This is all I have to go on. The laws are notoriously vague. The pinky test isn't something that is written as far as I have searched, but rather word of mouth. There is someone in the NJ HTF that can give you a much more detailed explanation.

Sounds gay.  And not cool gay like Freddie Mercury, but gross gay like Brokeback Mountain.

I'd get a BE Meyers 249F. It is a flash hider, and the law says "flash suppressor".

It is long enough to be pinned and get the overall length up to 16".

ETA: Their QD system for attaching silencers to A2-style flash hiders is awesome. Same 30SD suppressor on my 14.5 AR (has a GA Flash-Comp) and M92 SBR (has a regular A2 flash hider). Give GA another look, OP.

Lol... If I had spent the coin on a line of their products I might defend them also. Given the choice, I'd spend the money on "original" merchandise instead of unduly licensed/remarkably similar products that might've come after. But I digress.

I need something that does not violate NJ AWB laws

I cant have a flash hider and do not want a muzzle brake. Id like some sort of compensator that looks high speed. It cant have threads (like the AAC comps) and must be permanently attached; therefore Im going with a 14.5 inch barrel. So the muzzle device must bring me to 16.1. Another roadblock is that it cannot fail the "pinky test." If you can stick you pinky in the end of it it is a no-go.

ETA: I was doing a search and this is what I found on a NJ Gun Owner's forum

If your pinky breaks the plane it's for reals and you might get herpes. Even just a little, it's a mucous membrane thing.
If you can get your pinky past the front but can't touch the muzzle you can try for a two point conversion or call it safe at third.
Unless you roll a 20-sided die and hit double damage

There are defining characteristics of flash hiders and an open end is one of them.

In that vein, do you trust an avg NJ cop to know the difference between the a2 "comp" and a2 "FH" in the arfcom store? They look so similar.  They also list the pws 556 as a comp, but I know for CA featureless that is considered a flash hider.
