Quote History Quoted:
So you can go to the range and shoot all those? U just have to switch the upper before adding the stock?
So in my case... Having built the rifle, I'm sol on being able to make it a pistol? But if I were to sell the lower and buy a new one that's never been assembled.. I could do a pistol and then. Switch back and forth?
Thanks again for helping me out guys!

Quoted:
Here for example is a perfectly legal grouping of "aggregated parts in close proximity" to be out and about with (there could be multiples of any of them. Could have thrown in a VFG too).

However, without the long barrels in the mix, you have
made an NFA firearm, whether the parts are actually physically assembled into an illegal config or not.
Note that at home, case law says that your entire property constitutes that "close proximity".

Sure, can mix and match at will, EXCEPT of course using the short barrel with the stock at the same time.
The key to the legality of the pictured config is that the lower was first built as a pistol, so it can go back and forth in configuration. Had it been first built as a rifle, that grouping of parts, if that's all you had, would be illegal.
Yeah, I know, who could know, right? And in the case of starting with a new lower, almost certainly correct, but that's the law (or rather the SCOTUS interpretation of it). The rock sure proof, if ever investigated, is if the lower had started off as a rifle from a manufacturer, which is easily found through the company's records.
