I posted this on another board and received very limited replies.


Here is what I know:  

Pistols can be converted to rifles and then back to pistols.  

Obviously, 922r and all legalities of what makes up a rifle applies.  Let's not get into this as it's very well-known.  

One of the reasons I bring this up is because of the M92s being offered having already been converted into rifles.  When these are transferred through a dealer, I am assuming that they are transferred as rifles and can then NOT be converted back to their pistol form.  Am I correct on this?
Can you prove it was originally a pistol on its current reciever?

Now, let's say I buy a M92 and convert it to a rifle.  

How is it transferred if I ever decide to sell it?  
The configuration it currently is. Yes, you could sell it as either

Can I sell it FTF as a rifle if my state allows rifles to be sold FTF?  
If it's configured as a rifle at the time of sale

Does it need to converted back to a pistol before transfer if I ever decide to sell it?  
If you want to sell it as a pistol

Can it be shipped as a rifle when in rifle form or does it need to be treated like a pistol when shipping even when in rifle configuration?  I ask this because individuals can not ship pistols USPS, but licensed individuals can.  
What it is configured as at the time is how it's treated

I would like to hear what some of you guys know.  

I am looking for firm information, not speculation.  So, if you could back your post/information up with links or ATF letters, that would be preferred.  
This is GD.
