i bought a lower as "other" , with plans to make a AR pistol, before i built it i decied against building a AR pistol and just want to build a lightweight rifle, can i build a normal rifle on a lower bought as "other"
its never been assembled as anything, still stripped my common sense tells me yes you can build it, but i know laws are not always common sense |

If you bought it as "other" on the NICS form you can build what you want. Some states require you to register it as a pistol or rifle but Texas, as over here in Louisiana, do not require firearm registration.
Build what you want and you are good to go. Although, I think the ATF says once a rifle always a rifle, not sure on this point but I think some guys here said if you build it as a rifle you can not rebuild it as a pistol. Not sure on this point, "common sense isn't so common anymore"! |

Not sure on this point, "common sense isn't so common anymore"! Pistol can be built into a rifle but if first built as a rifle it's always a rifle and can never be rebuilt as a pistol. A pistol that you built into a rifle can be returned to pistol. Think about it. That rifle conversion for 1911 or the rifle conversion for Ruger Mark III are intended to switch back and forth. |
