A: NO, it's not.
"Why?" you ask ... it's because it's not a semi-automatic. This rifle is actually a pump action 5.56 manufactured by Dlask Arms Corp.
It sure does "look" evil though, doesn't it. roll eyes

Yet here is the NJ definition of a banned assault rifle...a marlin model 60 semi 22 that holds 17round in the fixed tube magazine. Yeah, at least one person is doing time for possession of this wmd.Not only too many, but rules (laws) that were crafted in response to some political hot-button issue, which ultimately fail to do anything more that provide some misguided politician with a reelection sound bite or photo-op.
The NJ AWB is the biggest joke of all. It keeps you, the law abiding sportsman from purchasing a semi-auto, pistol-grip turkey gun, but does nothing to keep weapons out of the hands of criminal gang members (who aren't exactly inclined to follow the law to begin with).
The NJ AWB was crafted under the notion that guns which "look evil" must be evil. The AWB both capriciously & arbitrarily banned guns on the basis of appearance and cosmetics alone.
Yet, other guns were victims of unintended consequence. The original Marlin model 60, a semi-auto .22 rimfire rifle used by coutless boy scouts & tin can plinkers, was included in the NJ AWB because it had a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 15 rounds. Hardly a weapon of mass destruction, but banned nonetheless.
Now a quick quiz for you, the NJ firearms owner:

exactly... here is an exampleA pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
I guess I'm confused on what IS a pistol grip, and what is NOT. Aren't all of these considered 'pistol grip'?
