AR lowers; rifle lowers must stay rifles and can not be converted into pistols. But AR pistols can be converted into rifles, but once it is, it can not be converted back into a pistol.
Back in about 2005 to 2008 I was really into building AR's, so all the lowers I bought were listed as pistol lowers to not have to worry about breaking the law.
If...if the law still exists....how many here have made illegal pistols?
Even if you bought all your parts one piece at a time. The receiver must be labeled a pistol when you purchased it!
Like I said...I have not researched it to see if the law still reads that way or not, but I don't know of any reason why it would have changed.
Where does this statement come from? Thomson Center is advertising exactly this; with conversion kits that go back and forth from pistol to carbine - and marketing saying you can swap back and forth at a moments notice. Theywent all the way to the US Supreme Court taking on the ATF, in order to do so.
