If I were to purchase a complete lower and check pistol on 4473. What would be my options for an upper?

You won't be selecting/checking anything. It will be marked as "other firearm" since it's a receiver.

FPNI. Then, if state laws allow, you can run any barrel length you want if it’s braced.

When you get your lower, if it comes with a stock attached - remove it, and pin a "pistol" length upper onto the lower.  You will have then bult a pistol FIRST, and from then on you can use any length upper you want - as long as you don't have a short barreled upper on it with a stock attached.  Unless you SBR it, of course.

This is the only right answer.

Any FFL that says otherwise is an idiot, and doesn't deserve your business.

I purchased a PSA lower and attached a 458 socom upper. So if I take the adjustable stock off and the upper I can then use a short barrel upper with a fixed stock?

You cannot have a barrel shorter than 16" on a gun with a rifle stock of any kind, unless SBR

You can put a pistol brace on the buffer tube with an upper with short barrel tho.

The law is that it would need to be built as a pistol first and then it can go back and forth between rifle and pistol. As a practical matter nobody knows and there’s really no way to check.
