i have a 9mm Rock River upper and want to switch to a dedicated lower from CMMG. I plan to shorten the barrel and run it as a pistol. Are the CMMG lowers marked pistol or does it even matter as long as I never assemble it as a rifle?
I have a VM-HyTech but I don't really care for it and will end up selling it. Will the CMMG lower hold open for the last round? |
| What is marked on the lower doesn't matter. Even if it says pistol, you can throw a 16+" bbl on it & build it as a rifle. You can get a lower marked 40W range phaser and build it as a .410" PG shotgun w/ a sub-18" bbl. It's the legal configuration that's important, not the lower markings. |

Quoted:
It is not marked as pistol, but as long as it was never built as a rifle previously you can make it a pistol. One of those crazy rules thing. If it was first registered as a pistol you can make it into a rifle and its OK. Change it back to a pistol and you are OK. But, if it was registered as a rifle when sold you can NOT change it into a pistol. Got that? If you did, good, because no one else can actually understand why they did iut that way. |

Because FDR was going to ban pistols in the NFA along w/ machineguns, but realized @ the last minute he didn't have the votes. So they switched pistols from Title 2 to Title 1 - pistols were originally going to be a $200 tax stamp. |
