A friend of mine(in PA)who has a Pre-ban Colt AR, wants to be able to shoot his AR here in NJ.  I told him I'd look into it.

He is changing the out the non-PC trigger and selecter switch for something more "PC" and getting a Post-ban NM DCM Upper.

Is there anything else he would need to know that would allow him to make the transformation to a "NJ legal" rifle?

Thanks

what would a regular trigger and selector of an ar have anything to do with a PC rifle.  is he changing it out for a match trigger?  waht are the NJ laws concerning the AR weapon series?

My friend's brother Willed him the rifle.
He was a Green Beret in VN and made some "mods" to the rifle.  My friend wants to get it into a Post ban config so he doesn't get into any trouble.

What's he 'gonna do about the little hole through the receiver above the "selector switch" ???

Someone coming to NJ from PA to shoot, usually it's the other way around. A preban lower that has not been modified which has a post ban upper would be legal in NJ.Why all the bother to shoot in NJ? He's better off in PA.

If it says "AR-15" on the receiver it's banned by name in NJ.  If it says "Match Target" it's specifically allowed.  "Sporter" is not mentioned.  Basically, post-ban configuration all the way.  

I'm still looking for the link to the site that describes this in detail.  I'll update if/when I find it.

Here's the NRA link.  [url]http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws.asp?FormMode=Detail&R=NJ[/url]  Still looking for the other one.

Here's the NJ statutes link [url]http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/cgi-bin/om_isapi.dll?clientID=100919&depth=2&expandheadings=off&headingswithhits=on&infobase=statutes.nfo&softpage=TOC_Frame_Pg42[/url]

This is what I was looking for.  [url]http://www.homestead.com/njccw/njgunlaws.html[/url] .  There's another link near the bottom.  Note that this page does not address the new magazine rules change.

Thanks for all of the info.

I think I have convinced my friend to get a 2002 LEGP instead. [:D]
