Wow!!....that's a lot of information.
....and a 10 year Federal sentence to make me pay attention!
"The real issue is if you intend on making a pistol, then you better have the pistol components before you ever buy the short barrel (if you have rifles about). Having a short barrel without pistol components is intent to make an SBR.
Likewise, if you only have a pistol but also have an attachable shoulder stock nearby, then that is intent to make an SBR."
In the present climate the ATF is unlikely to get a warrant to knock on your door and check your gun safe, but what you take to the range or have in your vehicle had better line up "nearby"
