Are brake shields legal in NJ?

Are brake shields like the Griffin Armament QD Blast Shield legal in NJ?

 

I also was wondering the same thing about the FERFRANS CRD

Ask the state police if they would consider that a flash hider. My guess is that they might, but who knows.

Anytime you install a muzzle devise on a SA rifle with a threaded barrel is must be pinned

as to not be considered one of the "evil features" (Threaded barrel to accept flash hider)

 

The problem with these new shrouded devises is if you pin the inner section to the barrel,

you still have some sort of threads on the inner section that allow the outer section to be 

installed & removed.The law doesn't say what type of threads, it just says "Threaded barrel; 

and technically your barrel would still be threaded!

 

The BIG questions are:

Does the outer "shield" thread onto the inner Muzzle devise AND by placing

a shroud around a Muzzle Break is it considered a Flash Hider.....??????

Threads must be able to accept a flash hider to be considered an evil feature.

^ I agree Paul, but that is why I say one needs to find out if the outer shroud is considered

a flash hider...............

Just curious, does the ATF classify the shroud as a flash hider?

NJ legal or not, it seems like it defeats both the purpose of a flash hider and of a muzzle break

 

A muzzle break directs the gasses of combustion backwards to counteract the rifle's recoil.  This device re-directs those gasses forward - defeating the muzzle break.

 

A flash hider directs the flash down or to the side out of the shooter's line of sight.  This device throws the flash forward again - as if there was no flash hider.

I think the purpose is for when you take classes or shoot indoors.

I'm actually interested in the Surefire one that just came out. It doesn't thread on and I happen to have a socom muzzle brake. I took a class out of state and the people to the side of my battlecomp weren't the happiest. They weren't pissed but they said they could feel the concussion
