Are there any issues with selling a 1919a4 to an individual in NJ? Im unable to find any regulations against it but want to make sure. I think theres a few members from The Garden State here who might know definitively 
Is the 1919 legal in NJ?

It's often advertised as 50 state legal.
Washington state is the only place that I know of where the legality is fuzzy. It's completely illegal to import machinegun parts into the state. And most 1919 parts, are most certainly machinegun parts!

That doesn't make sense to me. The only part of a "machine gun" is the (BATFE registered) sideplate -- the rest is just "pieces of metal".

Washington State fuzz...
Because of my recent relocation, this was major concern.
The state regulation concerning unlawful firearms and parts contraband includes the phase "...or any part designed and intended solely and exclusively for use in a machine gun..."
At first blush it sounds like any 1919 parts. But thanks to the BATFE semi approval documentation, the only parts exclusive to a MG are those that apply only to the FA. That would be the un-modified trigger and the sear (oh, and that pesky FA reciever). The remainder are "designed and intended" for the approved SA. A sleazy move to stiffle kit builders, no doubt.
Still, its one of many tactics used out here spook gunowners and shooters. Most shooters are tight lipped about shooting spots on government lands. The one rifle club that I have visited has suffered, like many, encrochment with new neighbors un-freindly to shooting.
I haven't shot "Rolling Thunder" for two years.
So, I haven't heard of any legal confrontations concerning the 1919 in WA. I hope I'm not the one to experiance such an event when I do finally shoot.
