Yup...legal. A belt counts as a magazine. No more than 15 rounds linked together.

I often wonder how this works.... You cant have a magazene capable of being retrned to a 30rd mag, but you can have linked ammo that can be relinked?  NJ WHY U SO CRAZY!

[FishNHard 145]

Man if I knew that I would have been putting a hurting on the card ,   do any of you guys own one and if so were did you get yours from if you don't mind me asking.

I do not personally believe having more than 15 links in your possession is legal in NJ.. as it is IMO a the same a disassembled large capacity box mag...

We shoot a Gatling gun at my club, stupid 15 round belts

[PK90 3,570]

Gatling Gun with Belts? Is it not hand cranked with a mag?

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

GE mini-gun maybe?

[Njbanshee 9]

You can buy them on gunbroker any day of the week.

what do you know about rpd's and 1919 junkmanted?

[PK90 3,570]

< have sold/transferred M2, 1919, 1917, RPD, SG43, MG42, etc, in NJ.

At 6000 rounds per minute you'd need to reload after 150 milliseconds

but see that simply raises more questions.  You can have multiple 15/30 pmags so I would assume you could have multiple 15 round links.  Again... stupid NJ lol

I have the opposite opinion of vladtepes. I do not feel that a link is a container according to the law, and one can string as many links as one wants.

multiple 15 round box mags do not make a single large cap mag... 

multiple links make a single long belt that can hold way more than 15... 

 

 

con·tain·er

noun

 

1. 1.

   an object that can be used to hold or transport something.

 

 

the links hold individual bullets.. thus by the standard definition a single belt section is in fact a container?

[ogfarmer 138]

others who own them here have already stated you can have more than 1 belt and own more than 15 links.

[vladtepes 1,060]

so if I state you can have a 100 round drum does that make it so?

[howellgunworks 1]

Sold a 1919, checked with NJSP who confirmed belt links of no more than 15 rounds to maintain compliance.

[ogfarmer 138]

the reason given is they are not a continues device until linked together, unlike a 100 round drum is already complete

I fully understand that in practice it is allowed.. but by the literal wording of the statements surrounding NJ law.... that is another story..

disassemble it.. now it feeds nothing.. are disassembled 30 round mags ok?

no.. it specificity says it is still a large cap mag unless permanently modded..

Yes...belt feds are Nj legal...ask me how I know..... Neat thing is they are firearms...not rifles, which are meant to be fired from the shoulder, and certainly not a handgun...that's obvious....they still transfer like a rifle however.

A buddy of mine is a county cop. He owns a semi-auto MG42. His belts are full length (50 rounds).

Hu ? no shoulder stock !

my rpd yes and 1919 has a clamp on stock , 

[FishNHard 145]

For those who own some NJ belt feds would you mind posting some pics

[PK90 3,570]

Non-believer?

[FishNHard 145]

Nope not at all just wanna get an idea do I want an rpd or do I go all in and get that 1919a4 bundle that OOW has,  plus on the 1919 do you guys like the pistol grip or you prefer the spade grips.
