Is this legal?

You know what they say about AR pistols..

False. It is illegal to change a factory rifle to a pistol.

Good info, but I read it in Dwight's voice from "the office" good chuckle! [emoji1787]

Yes. Stripped or simi-built, lower must be registered as a pistol.

Partially correct. It needs to be listed on the 4473 form as pistol or other (which is pistol or rifle). Stripped lowers usually are listed as other unless explicitly roll marked as pistol. If the gun came to you or the original buyer listed as a rifle on the 4473, then that is illegal to covert it to a pistol. Rule of thumb is you can go from pistol to rifle, but cannot convert from rifle to pistol.

Registered as a Pistol? Thought all stripped lowers are classified as 'other'.

The fact that we have such absurd uncertainty on a matter that should be straightforward since it's covered by a 27-word Constitutional Amendment that includes the phrase "shall not be infringed" and comes second behind only the fundamental right of speech, religion, press, and assembly, should **** off every freedom-loving American to no end.

Looks like a good excuse to just build another gun.

Yes, I as know.

Don’t Ask. Don’t Tell

Maybe he has several and wants something different? Guns can be fun.


But in this case OP shouldn’t do that unless he wants to risk the possibility of gaining a new long term boyfriend. [emoji16]

Agreed. As an owner of more than one, I understand the wanting of something different, or for a specialized purpose/task.
