lot of first time buyers in NJ are going to get screwed too. that whole class of firearms that don't have an actual classification (in NJ they call them "non-nfa" or "others") have caught on. for a long time, that's one of the few firearms that stores around here could get in stock. I know of plenty of first time buyers that bought one as their first AR. Now I assume their only option is to remove the brace entirely or put a 16" barrel on it and follow the AWB rules.
