Evil mosin?

[Newtonian 453]

I'm sure this information is contained somewhere in these forums.

 

Was thinking of buying a Yugo AK 47, but from the looks of it it's not NJ compliant. While talking with a local transfer guy he said a bayonet mount is one evil feature, which I knew. 

 

But:

 

Is that sufficient to make a gun illegal? Would a bayonet mount on a Mosin 91-30 make the gun illegal? How about the fold-out bayo on the Mosin carbine?

 

If so, are these guns illegal to buy, or to possess, or both?

Bolt actions

Pistol grip AND bayo makes it illegal. Also, mosins are bolt action. They're exempt from the evil feature thing. Same reason why pump action shotguns can have all the evil features they want.

[lunker 274]

Start off with magazine fed. If so, then more than one evil feature makes it an assault weapon. 

If fed by any other means (i.e. lever, bolt action, break open, etc), then it is not applicable.

Bolt action you're G2G.

For a rifle to be an "assault weapon" in NJ it must be semi auto.

 

Then it must have at least 2 of the following 5 "evil features"

 

pistol grip

flash supressor

grenade launcher

adjustable stock

bayonet mount.

 

since a Mosin is not semi-auto it can have all 5 features if you want.

And removable mag.

 

SKS with fixed mag for example is semi auto but can have evil features but then you have to make it 922R compliant.

Interesting. So would this be NJ-compliant: https://www.samcoglobal.com/1-sks.html

 

 

It's got a fixed mag and a bayonet. Everything else ok?

[RecessedFilter 222]

A fixed mag SKS is legal in NJ.

[lunker 274]

You could chop off the rear of it and stick on one of those Saiga combined pistol grip/adjustable stocks. then it would have all the evil features and still be legal. A big FU to Jersey politicians.

Thanks to all for the advice. I'd sortof forgotten that semi-auto is what triggers everything else. I'm new to this stuff.

OK, please bear with me.

 

Were I to do the necessary conversion for this gun to accept a detatchable magazine, would it still be legal as is?

 

I hear it's pretty easy to do, sometimes as easy as removing the old internal mag.

[ogfarmer 138]

NO a SKS with detachable mag is illegal in NJ its on the list of banned AW

+1 

 

AND every detachable mag I have seen on an SKS (out of state, of course) looked and performed like it was made out of a few tuna cans cobbled together. 

 

Leave it the way it is and have fun w. it.
