Is a threaded barrel, bolt action rifle legal in NJ without compliance work? Most of my research says yes, but I did see a reference that only rifles designed for hunting with twist rates less than 10:1 can legally have threaded muzzle barrels.

Hi Dr. Jonathan and welcome. Yes Sir. Bolt Action Rifles do not carry the same stringent restrictions as Semi-Auto Rifles. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy! Details under "Rifles" here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf
