I'm understanding the NFA process (I think... aah bureaucracy). I'd like to EVENTUALLY have a pistol caliber SBR down the line once I leave the restrictive state of Washington. So having discussed the topic of "intent to manufacture" I'm leaning toward building a pistol first then registering the lower as an SBR once I leave this state (and I will). This leads to two questions.

1) If I build a pistol from scratch (stripped lower, pistol buffer, pistol upper) and by ordering the lower registering the stripped lower as a pistol (now thanks to ATF laws) would it be considered intent to build if I already have a complete AR-15 on another lower? (I already have one lower transferred and registered as a pistol but it's a 5.56/.223 lower and I want a dedicated Lone Wolf for 9mm)

2) What is the difference in a pistol spring/buffer coupled with gas vs a carbine or A2? I should say, what considerations should I take into account as far as pressure and gas?

i bought the Spikes buffer tube kit, it's the same as a carbine buffer tube but is machined not to accept a buttstock. it has the same buffer spring and buffer as a regualr carbine making it 100% reliable.
