just remember the only part here that is a firearm is the lower... all other parts are accessories that may be modified without restriction as long as the final product meets NFA guidelines...
what makes it NFA is attaching the wrong upper to the lower...
separate the two and you are no longer illegal.... lots of people have ar pistols and lowers that they could possibly swap out... they are not violating any laws since they do not intend to mix the two up... and never thought about doing such...
the upper can be modified however you please... and can be configured as a rifle or pistol by the new owner.. if he wants a pistol, he should recrown the barrel and buy a pistol lower or build one...
if he wants a rifle, he should get a new barrel.....
getting a stripped lower, pistol buffer and he's good to go (he can do himself) for under 150$... then he can sell his rifle lower for about the same as parts...
