Nj Firearms and voluntary commitment

Long story short, I was voluntarily committed when I was 16 years old. Fast forward to 2013, I moved down to South Carolina and purchased multiple firearms, got my ccw, and worked for a private armed security company.

I was SLED certified (South Carolina law enforcer division). This background check goes through the feds and is a very thorough process.

I ended up moving back to NJ in 2016. I sold all my firearms prior to coming back. In addition, I attempted to get my FID in 2020. My local police department called me up and said “you had a mental health hit come back. We suggest you withdraw and get an expungement”.

My question is - how was I able to pass federal background checks in SC? Aren’t they checking the same data base?

This just seems like extortion.

My question - if I found a town and chief who would sign off and approve my FID, should I technically be able to pass the federal background check?

Beretta 1301 Tactical semi auto mag tub block

I’m interested in a Beretta 1301 Tactical semi auto but it has an 8 round capacity and NJ max is 6 for semi auto. Can anyone recommend a place that will offer fair pricing and have the ability to do a quality job on installing a mag tube block? Thanks

I've been eyeing AKS for some time now and found a jack available for around $1000 already NJ compliant. Stupid buy or should I get one?

Which BCM upper and muzzle break/compensator?

Newbie here. Building my first AR and trying to be NJ compliant. I come from Georgia, so all this compliance stuff is brand new. Anyways, which BCM upper and compensator is NJ compliant. I’m trying to run a 14.5” barrel but don’t know which moderator to attach to it to make it compliant. Thanks!

Looking for a decent “modern” stock for my M70, recommendations?

I know AK’s are kinda out on our own island, but really need some help here. Seems like the only options are stocks that are telescoping or folding for the Yugo pattern so I’m at a loss for any decent stock upgrades to modernize my gun from its wood.

I may love my Serbian red furniture but would love the option to modernize it

Looking to just hike around in full gear without ammo, Would be carrying an M70 and a Tac-14

So I’m looking to just wander around in the forest for fun, not bringing ammo, just the guns, for just hiking and larping basically in all my gear. Maybe get some cool pictures and stuff but again, no ammo and most I would have on my that’s lethal would be my knife (mossy oak).

Is this legal? Or is even carrying around a long gun illegal even if there’s no ammo

Springfield Helion Vs. popular AR-15

Hey y'all. Been looking to get something in 5.56 but I guess I'm stumped about where to go.

If I wanted an AR, I don't even know which one I'd get. All I do know is I'd like to throw on the HERA furniture cause it looks dope ASF. I hear Aero precision is a solid place to start with ARs

I also really like the Helion. I think it's a solid choice but with NJ being NJ, They pin the stock and it kind of kills one of the things I like about it.

I've handled both and I really enjoy the feel of the Helion but I love the Hera style too. And If I could I'd buy both lol.

but other than that I know nothing about rifles and hope you guys can give me some guidance. I'm more of a shotgun guy myself but I want to expand my horizons.

Non Resident NJ Permit for PA applicant

I am told there are specific mental health forms for PA that need to be provided for the NJ Application. NJSP seems to be taking their time in sending me the information to complete it. Anyone know which form is required? Can’t find it on my own, I’ve tried.

Are we able to purchase mags online?

I wanted to get some Pmags. Is it legal to buy them online as long as they are the 10 rounders or do I have to buy them in store?

Thanks y’all

Questions for you fine gentlemen

Applied for my first card and purchase permit end of August. Never heard word back, recently found out that one of my two references didn’t answer their questionnaire. He completed it yesterday.

My brother who filed his got a call within a week that he was approved, was wondering if anyone had any experience with this, and if in a week I should be expecting the call saying I was approved?

Cheaper ammo online (wow) 30Ch

New to the whole gun scene, I just wanted to say I didn’t think the price difference between buying ammo online versus in store would be THAT dramatic. What I spent in store would’ve literally been double the amount of rounds online.

I don’t think I’m ever buying ammo in person again lol

M1-22LR with a wood stock, now purchasable in NJ?

Hello! A few months ago I was trying to purchase a M1 22LR with a wood stock. But I couldn’t find one for sale in NJ. I only saw the variant with a synthetic black stock for sale. When I tried shipping one in, the online seller said the wood variant was not allowed in NJ. I also saw some older Reddit posts about how no M1 variants are allowed.

But I was browsing online some of the same stores I checked a few months ago and now they do have the wood variants for sale.

Was there a recent change that allowed this particular variant to be sold? Or am I a dummy and it’s always been allowed?
