Edejong Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Hello all! This is my first post on this board. I'm totally new to AR's and am interested in possibly building an AR-10 or 308AR for large game hunting and target shooting purposes. I don't plan on making any purchases in the near future as I'd like to do as much research as possible. I know I could purchase a complete AR-10 / 308AR off the shelf, but the more I read about the flexibility of the AR platform, the more interested I am in learning the platform and building one myself. I see there are many new members who seem to be in a similar boat, so I'm looking forward to learning alot from the folks on this site!
Rsquared Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome aboard Edejong. There's ALOT of info that you can find floating around here.
98Z5V Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Very first, you need to study up on New Jersey firearms law. That will guide your build more than you realize, because there are some jacked up gun laws in New Jersey. Welcome aboard.
Edejong Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Posted February 13, 2015 Very first, you need to study up on New Jersey firearms law....because there are some jacked up gun laws in New Jersey. Welcome aboard. Jeez ya think??!! LOL!! Yes, before I go off the wall like a kid with an erector set on Christmas morning, I know whatever I build can't have "scary" features like collapsible stocks and bayonet lugs. Indeed I'll nail down what makes a NJ compliant firearm.
EasyEJL Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 welcome from FL. You're allowed to own guns in NJ?
98Z5V Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 OP, lots of reading to do, if you're not already familiar with the NJ Assault Weapons Ban, and it's current laws. Info below: http://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcj/agguide/assltf.htm http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/firearms/njac-title13-ch54.pdf http://smartgunlaws.org/assault-weapons-in-new-jersey/ Your most valuable resource, no schit, will be right here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_8/50_New_Jersey.html No kidding man - do your homework first. You're in one of those states where you can seemingly "built something innocent," only to find out that you've just committed a state felony... NJ is some scary schit...
Dane Armory Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Welcome from AZ ! Still building that AR or are you moving to Penn State.
Malig8r Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 Welcome from Washington, the wet side of the state.
Edejong Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Posted March 11, 2015 ...You're allowed to own guns in NJ? Actually, the answer is NO! Folks often say it's easiest to start with the statement "all guns are Illegal in NJ"... And then sprinkle in the few exceptions where it’s actually legal to possess guns in NJ, such as while at home, while at a gun range, while hunting, while driving to and from said gun range or hunting grounds.
Edejong Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Posted March 11, 2015 Welcome from AZ ! Still building that AR or are you moving to Penn State. Haha!! The funny thing is I'm only about 20 minutes from PA. All my family is in NJ and I've lived and worked here all my life, but I've certainly thought of jumpping the border for many reasons.. not just for its more friendly gun laws.
912dawg Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 Welcome from Georgia, one of the easiest states to own a gun in. I don't see how you guys put up with such strict gun laws in some of those lefty states. You're a better man than I am.
