 If someone took an old Colt "CAR 15", duly marked as such or a Colt "AR 15" and removed the bayonet lug and attached a muzzle brake, would it be legal in NJ ? I would like some clarification as the NJ gun laws are very confusing. Thank you in advance for any responses.

Hey 1125:

N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.2 defines Colt AR-15 and CAR-15 series as an "assault weapon."  Based on that, its banned unless registered years ago when that was available to people.  Even if the evil features are removed, the receiver is still a Colt embossed CAR 15.

YMMV.

Oh and in before PK90 says its GTG.

Damn. Bastard.

I would have to agree with you on this. It is a "no go' in NJ.

That old Colt Ar-15 might might be valuable to an Out of State Collector





It is a Colt





Please tell that hypothetical person not to take a Dremel Tool to it





Just my two cents

you should hypotetically have a friend in PA sell it to a NYS resident FFL to FFL. Or bring it yourself  to a NYS FFL with buyer to do a transfer. NYS buyer gets a sweet preban rifle, you get enough money to buy a nice new NJ compliant AR and no longer a "violent felon" win-win.

I might be willing to take it off your hands. Just need to ship it to an FFL.
