You can't build an AR pistol in CT at all. It has a magazine outside the grip and weighs more than 50 ounces. That makes it violate the AWB.

I think it also has to have been a pistol pre-ban, right? I don't think you can build a pistol from a pre-ban rifle lower.

Right.

If you weld the magazine in place you can do whatever you want to it.  Here are the requirements that have to be met for a pistol -

A semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following:

(i) An ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;

(ii) A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip or silencer;

(iii) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned;

(iv) A manufactured weight of fifty ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and

One just happens to be a preban, but it's not semi auto, the other like mentioned above does not have a removable magazine.
