Lower question for those in the know
I bought a S&W MP 15 lower with trigger group and collapsable stock no upper, new in the box from a gun shop. I would like to turn that into a 7" pistol. Do I need any NFA paperwork, is it legal or a no go.
Thanks in advance,
BradAnd if you want to race, name the place and I'll show you where it's at mother f@#$&#!

Re: Lower question for those in the know
I'm pretty sure as long as an upper has never been mounted youre good to go, you just have to install the proper pistol buffer tube....however since it already has a rifle boffertube on it , it might be an issue, I could be wrong too...(its been known to happen)

When you are called a racist, it just means you won an argument with an Obama supporter.

It had a stock on it, so NO. It can NEVER be a pistol. If you get a virgin receiver it is possible. To be safe, get one that is marked pistol. Once you put a stock on a lower in the eyes of the ATF it will always be considered a rifle.

Re: Lower question for those in the know
Technically once the lower has a stock on it, the lower can no longer be used as a pistol.
For a pistol build you need to buy a stripped lower. The fact that it's marked pistol or not doesn't really matter. Some people just feel better that way.

Re: Lower question for those in the know
Form-1 is not just for SBR...
You can create a pistol from a rifle with a form-1 also. See F1 instructions 1(c)(4)
If one were to write "pistol" in 4.b. it would fall under 1(c)(4) as it is being made from a rifle into a OAL/barrel length less than 26/16, but is not a rifle (no stock) as is provided for in 1(c)(3) ..... Yes, title-II it would be, but it can be done. The point was that a rifle CAN be made into a pistol._________________________________________
