I recently bought a Stag arms AR-15 from a member off here. I have always been interested in doing up a short barreled AR and obviously getting the ATF paperwork to do it and all that legally. Here is my question.
It seems the easiest thing for me to do is: I still want to have my 16 inch upper with rails all complete to change out. I have been seeing more and more AR-15 Pistol uppers. My question is is it LEGAL to buy a pistol upper... DO the proper ATF paperwork, and mount it to a rifle lower (I know the NFA part and $200 tax.) My question simply is with the right paper work, can you mount a pistol upper, to a registered rifle lower, and do paperwork to register it as a SBR.
Open to all info. I know paperwork is required and I can't just slap on a pistol upper without the ATF's blessing but I wasn't sure if it mattered what the parts were registered as at the start.
