AR 15
 

im looking into getting one for target shooting and because ive always wanted one. ive checked out some of the companies that make them but i am curious to know which are the better ones out there. does anyone on here have one and what do you guys suggest. also what are the limits law wise on them?

Your from PA?

no jersey

Well first off, you do realize an AR15 is gonna set you back a grand or two right?

just be careful what you purchase. NJ is strict when it comes to that rifle. The AR15 is actually illegal to own in NJ but you can get a AR15 style rifle. Basically as long as it does not say AR15 on the reciver your ok. There are a few other items too. I dont think flash supressors are allowed on the end of the barrel either. I cant remeber what else but any local dealer should be able to help you out. But I would stay away from Ray's sports shop on Rt22 in Plainfeild he is way over priced.

I have one made by Olympic arms and its great and it set me back a few years ago around 750 for mine.

And another point, is unless you have a big property and can make a backdrop, you can't shot a non rim fire cartridge unless at a club.

i have property in upstate ny where i can shoot so thats not an issue and plus or minus 1000 is what they seem to be going for. yea i talked to 1 dealer and he mentioned the flash supressor and no ar 15 logo he also said it cant have the collapsible stock

Do yourself a favor and find one in 9mm or .45 so that you can actually shoot the thing. No indoor range anywhere will let you shoot that.

Or get a Ruger 10/22 if your just going for plinking.

yeah that gun is great...so smooth to fire. jersey is going to be strict...i know they wont let you buy an all black one.

Mine has a full black stock, and I have a 25round clip, but shhh.

if you want accuracy buy a rock river NMa2 or A4, i use the NMA2 for high power and i will consistently score master level all the way out to 600 yards. If i were you i would stay away from places like olympic and vulcan, or hess. They are CRAP poor workmanship, etc. as they cut corners. You can get killer deals on gunbroker.com. if you are looking for a plinker you cant beat STAG.

I thought there was a federal transport license for taking one across state lines?

Nooooo.

i believe there is something that you have to get when transporting guns but i would most likely take it up to my cabin and leave it there since thats the only place ill shoot it

I think they only thing you would need to be worried about is obtaining a NY hunting permit for whatever you might be hunting for, and since you aren't hunting, I am gonna say you should be in the clear. Just remeber, ammo in the glove box, gun in the trunk.

yea i dont want any problems with the police

ive had one for about 10 years. they dont cost $1000 or more, depending on what model you get. look into bushmaster. quality guns, any variety you can think of. a good idea is to get a detachable handle, or the flat-top receiver. that way you can mount any optics you want. colaspable stocks are available at any online store.

This thread is just chock full of wrong information. AR-15 is the civilian designation of the military M-16/M4. All sorts of companies make parts for AR-15's and the parts are readily available with about half being completely legal. Mike I know we talked a lot about it the other night but all you have to remember that in NJ you must have a minimum of a 16" barrel, no bayonet lug, flash suppressor, fixed stock and clips that hold no more then 10rnds each. Other then that build it to your hearts content. My dad & I both have one that we pieced together from parts and they haven't grossed over $500 in parts if you shop wisely.

Both my lower receivers are from Rock River Arms. Some other good companies are DPMS & Bushmaster.

wow, all these "gun people" in here and they call MAGAZINES clips

Don't you have something better to cry about? :moon:

haha yea clips are for garands! haha
you can piece them together for sure, i feel bad for anyone in NJ, PA is so easy pretty much anything goes.

not tonight

Hey, don't miss the civlians arguing about which military vehicle is best. A must read!

I stayed out of that on purpose- even though my buddy from DC was on the R&D team for the Stryker LOL.
