New Jersey Arms Collectors Club
Founded 1947 -- Incorporated 1952
Membership Information
The NJACC is always looking for individuals who will add to our community of collectors and shooters. Membership in the NJACC is open to individuals who are interested in militaria, firearms, or edged weapons, their roles in history, and the preservation of our firearms heritage.
Shooters, Collectors, and those with similar interest are all welcome to join and become active particpants. If you are a 'rookie' just beginning your interests in guns, or have been collecting a while and have vast knowledge and experiences related to your collection, we welcome you to share your interests with us.
If you don't know anybody in the club and want to meet us please contact the Club Secretary for a Potential Prospect invitation. For a $5 fee, you will be the guest of the Secretary and be able to come to a meeting for a chance to meet members who may become sponsers. You can also meet some of our members (and potential sponsors) at our marksmanship contests that are open to the public. Coming to a meeting (except for July-Aug) is a great way to get a feel for the club."
If you are interested in joining the NJACC, there are only a few requirements to meet:
As of March 1, 2003 Annual Dues was raised to $100. In 2007, the Annual Dues became taxable under New Jersey State Law, and so Dues with sales tax is now $107.00

Club rules and fees are spelled out in our Constitution which is available for inspection once you become a probationary member.
Sponsors and Endorsers
Membership in the NJACC is open to all individuals are interested in firearms, their roles in history, and the preservation of our firearms heritage. But in order to join our club, they must have Sponsors and Endorsers. Each meeting, there are usually a few candidates looking to join our club. Make an effort to meet them, especially if they are from your neighborhood. By becoming a sponsor or endorser, both the prospective member and the club will benefit.
- A Sponsor shall be an active member in good standing for at least 12 months before the date of application. His duty shall be to instruct the applicant on the Rules and Regulations of the Club. He shall act as a liaison agent between the applicant and the Membership Committee. He shall act in this capacity until the applicant becomes an active member.
- An Endorser shall be an active member in good standing for at least 12 months before the date of application. He shall be willing to assume the full responsibilities of the sponsor at any time. He shall act in this capacity until the applicant becomes an active member.
This year, the NJACC became a member club in the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). The CMP provides ammo and surplus military rifles to members in CMP affiliated clubs.
The NJACC is now offering a Corresponding Membership with CMP Rights to anyone who qualifies to be an NJACC Regular Member but lives beyond a 100 Mile Radius of Blairstown, NJ.
