thanks for the help guys...i found a site, njguns.com with a link to a few nj laws pages.
They state..."New Jersey law lists firearms that are prohibited “assault firearms.” N.J.S.A.2C:39-1w(1). In addition, the law provides that the term “assault firearm” includes, “Any firearm manufactured under any designation which is substantially identical to any of the firearms listed” in the law. N.J.S.A.2C:39-1w(2). Thus, a firearm is an assault firearm if it is included on the list of banned firearms or if it is manufactured under a different designation than a firearm on the but is “substantially identical” to a specific listed firearm.
they defined assualt as a bunch of guns, but here are some relevant..
Bushmaster Assault Rifle
Colt AR-15 and CAR-15 series
So, I could get a Rock River or Olympic Arms AR-15 or another manufacturer, but the only thing im worried about is the "
if it is manufactured under a different designation than a firearm on the but is “substantially identical” to a specific listed firearm" part. But I see a few on this forum have them, and i saw a NJ dealer online selling one, so i think there is something to be said about that.
Im gonna go ahead and try to get one, just hope I dont have any problems
hinking.gifanyway, considering colt and bushmaster are out of the question, I am wondering what would be a good one to get? I am looking to spend up to around 750 and Im pretty sure I want a 16" barrel unless yall think i should go with 20" otherwise. If so, why. I see the Oly. Arms plinker is very cheap, but only has A1 upper and sights? I presume this means the cheapest one. Would I be better off going with the PCR5 or CAR-97? WHat about Rock River....i dont know anything about them...any suggestions.
As you can tell, im new to rifles since i grew up at s pistol only range. I appreciate everyones help
Thanks
Chris
