    Default Converting a Pistol to an SBR questions

    I was thinking about getting a 9mm AR pistol (lower is marked pistol) and then converting it to an SBR so i can add a stock.

    Is this possible or is it better to just start with a stripped lower and registering that as an SBR and just take the upper off the pistol lower?

    If I can register the pistol lower as an SBR, am I able to remove the stock and convert it back and forth between and SBR & Pistol?

    Thanks for the information. Just exploring my options before I just into the SBR world.

    If I can register the pistol lower as an SBR, am I able to remove the stock and convert it back and forth between and SBR & Pistol? Yes, but the receiver will still lawfully be a SBR regardless of its dimensions or having a buttstock attached.
