Rube Goldberg says yes.

My understanding is if it started as a rifle, it is always a rifle. Well, unless you pay $200, fill out some paperwork, and wait a while. Then you can call it a short barreled rifle (SBR). You could get a different lower receiver transferred as a pistol or "other" and switch all of your stuff over (except the stock), then it would be a pistol and probably less hassle than the SBR route.

Good luck!

Optionally, just build a pistol and have both!

Did you build rifle from a lower that was born as a receiver or did you buy a complete rifle? Lowers are cheap I would have one of each.

What law enforcement agency is involved in checking whether it's a rifle or a pistol I want to know?

I guess you're right about price. These use to be $60ish or 2 for $100 when they ran a sale. Looks like covid inflation to me. At least these are in stock at Portland store.

AIM had them in stock yesterday but they're gone now. Sign up for some of the online places like AIM and you'll get an email when they're back in stock again.

ANDERSON MFG LOWER STRIP 5.56

80 bucks for a Anderson, I remember when they were pumping them out for $24.95 not that long ago.

I have few suggestion for anyone going this route...

1) Build immediately, that way any issues can be dealt with immediately.
2) Get a good LPK and test their fit prior to hammering on the build.
3) Do not stack these deep, it would be not conducive with 1 & 2.

I'm so glad I'm not in AR buy mode.

Is that what you need to change register as a pistol?

Is it the ATF??

 

[SCARed]

No. You cannot "reregister" an AR. If you bought it as a rifle, there's nothing you can do to make it a pistol or you run afoul of the ATF.

This will work for a pistol build.

Yes, I paid $29ea for the last 3 I bought. But that was before the socialist/commies/snowflakes started rioting.
