To muddy things up even more; each of the stripped lowers I've purchased were transferred ("registered") as OTHER on the paperwork. Not a pistol. Not a rifle. Not an SBR. So there's that potential too. It's unlikely he'll ever know how it was transferred originally... so he can play it safe and start over or swap the barrel and make no further issue of it.
A guy my daughter knows is offered an AR-15 pistol. He wants to convert it into a rifle by somehow adding a longer barrel. Can he do this?
1. Legally?
2. Can he actually just swap out another barrel? Or does he have go get a 'rifle upper'?
Thanks
Completely agree. I was just raising another possible "type" that hadn't been mentioned yet.Because they were not rifles, pistols, etc.
That does not mean they cannot become rifles, pistols, etc.
