This came up in a discussion the other day, and I am curious about the correct answer:
If a person purchased an unbarreled rifle receiver from the factory as was the case a number of years ago, would it be legal to manufacture that receiver as a pistol. My contention was that, if you can do it with an AR receiver, and you have the necessary receipts to show that it was purchased as a receiver only, then no laws would be broken.
In other words, would this violate any provision of the NFA?
What say you?
