Semantics...you can write the ATF and "de-register" your SBR (or SBS) and it will not be "regulated" any further (i.e. it ceases to exist as an SBR). However, it remains in the "registry" (that is to say, there continues to be a historical record of it as an SBR).
None of my lowers are marked as "pistol". I think that was a fad with all of the confusion about swapping back and forth. If you think about it, there is no way (legally) that the ATF would know if a lower was purchased as "pistol" or "rifle" (since they are banned from keeping records of gun purchases). So what really matters is how it is configured (and what components you have or don't have "nearby").
I don't know the answer to FA question...
Sorry for any confusion on your original posts...it appeared to me that you were saying that one cannot switch between pistol and rifle.
So as to not completely hijack this thread, I also have been signed up for Amazon's "Prime" membership. At the expiration of my current membership, I will be canceling that membership in protest of the tax collection agreement with the state. From what I have read, Amazon will start collecting taxes on July 1st. (Does this apply to completely electronic purchases such as Kindle books?)
