Magazine rules, cannot own a magazine with over a 15rd capacity, you can own one with a greater than 15rd capacity so long as it is permanently altered to not accept more than 15 rounds, for instance I have some P-Mag P20s that are permanently blocked to 15 rounds so they are ok.
Bayo lugs are not applicable on bolt guns, it has to be a semi-auto before the illegal feature list starts coming into play. I have a bayo lug on my PSL-54c and that's one of 2 "evil" features it can have, the other is a detachable mag. I get a pass on pistol grip because it has a full cutout stock so it is not considered a pistol grip but a skeleton stock, though i still get strange looks and crap from time to time.
The only shotguns that can be considered assault weapons are, again, semi auto. Bolt, pump, lever, breakaway, etc. do not count and anything you want can be done to them provided magazine capacity does not exceed 15 rounds.
To answer the other posters question, no, owning hollow-point ammo is not, in and of itself, illegal. However, if you are convicted of a crime, any crime, and any subsequent search of your person or property turns up hollow-point ammunition you will have an additional charge filed against you "felony possesion of hollow-points". There was an individual one time that held up a bank, didn't use guns to do it, no guns there whatsoever. Following his arrest, police searched his home and turned up 1 gun and 5 hollow-points, he was charged with felony possession of hollow-points.
To the OP, your question was pretty much answered but here you go:
To buy a handgun you must go to local PD, ask for permit to purchase pistol/revolver. Fill it out (almost same as FID), return it and wait. Whenever I hand in it takes me a week to get mine back but you can wait anywhere up to a month. It doesn't have to go through FBI and NJSP like your FID card does, it only has to go to the chief of your local PD for approval. You will need one for each pistol you plan to buy, and they are only good for 90 days. If 90 days go by and you don't purchase the permit is void. Most shops will allow you to purchase in anticipation of your purchasers permit to come through and will remove from the case and save in the back for you. When your permit goes through, come in they fill out permit, you go through NICS, they give you pistol you go home.

N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.4 should be of specific interest for you, it is the part of the law that refers to permits to purchase.
