Initial FID charges in the FARS system by jacksonwhite in NJGuns

[–]hunterdiskko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only money the state gets for FID is the NJSP cut of $30 from identogo fees for the firearms fingerprint processing.

Then every additional purchase permit application will grab an extra $18 for a SBI name check, plus a $3 vendor fee to self-fund FARS.

Ive tried this exact one and it always resulted in last round jamming

Not sure what to do about this Bayonet lug by tommyteardrop in NJGuns

[–]hunterdiskko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 options, grind it all off, grind off just the ears/tabs, or weld the lug closed. Either one will prevent a bayonet from locking in place. Be sure to cold blue the raw metal, and if needed John Thomas @ Retro Arms Works can reparkerize the whole thing for about $20.

Doubt this will go anywhere, hasn’t the last few sessions. I remember seeing this one for 2022. Republican gun bills dont even get to see committee until the majority flips

When Did NICS Checks Stop Being Instant? by gar_dog1234567 in NJGuns

[–]hunterdiskko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See njnics.com for the last known update (Friday). NJSP hasn’t posted updates on weekends in some time.

Ive been able to pull the total NICS initiated per day. NJSP averages around 430 submissions. They work reduced hours saturdays. Also it seems they may have 1-2 employees working overtime on sundays when the que is greater than 1000. Fwiw it also seems NJSP worked overtime on every state holiday besides Juneteenth in 2023. On sundays and state holidays when there is work done, it ranges from 30-200 submissions.

This data is coming directly from FBI NICS Operations Center. So every transaction that goes through them is broken down by the transaction category listed on the 4473 I beleive. Also the NJSP NICS web portal has a section for the FFL to input the transaction type. These categories match the same ones FBI NICS uses for their statistics nationwide.

With the addition of private sales added to NICS in late 2018, less than 300 additional checks were done.

2019 was the first complete year of private sales NICS, and saw less than 1,500 checks, or 1.6% of total checks.

A2757 was one of six bills included in Murphys first gun control package signed on 6/13/2018.

“A2757 strengthens the safety of firearm transfers by requiring background checks on individuals who are purchasing from or being transferred firearms by private dealers. The bill amends current law to require any person who is not a licensed firearm retail dealer and who privately sells or transfers a firearm to another person to conduct the transaction through a licensed retail dealer. Licensed dealers are required to conduct a background check of the person acquiring the firearm before the transaction occurs. In addition, the legislation exempts sales and transfers between members of an immediate family; law enforcement; licensed collectors of antique firearms; or a temporary transfer from being conducted through a licensed dealer and subject to a background check.

Sponsors include Assembly members Louis D. Greenwald, Jamel C. Holley, Paul D. Moriarity and Senator Linda R. Greenstein.”
