no you can't.

For it to be a pistol it can't have a stock, the reciever can never be a registered rifle, and you can't have a forward grip or it'd be an AOW.

My understanding was that you could only build a pistol on a reciever taht was never assembled as a rifle but converting your pistol to a rifle was no problem. (Unless barrel length sub 16 inches then you need the tax stamp)

From short ar pistol faq:

Q: What if I built it as a pistol first, then a rifle?
A: That's the only exception. If you build a pistol from a virgin receiver first, take some pictures and date them. Hang on to them. Then build your rifle. If you ever want to turn it back into a pistol, take the stock off FIRST, then put the pistol barrel back on.
