I've never done an SBR, but I've thought about it and I have a couple of questions for those in the know:
1. Am I allowed to own the parts of the SBR without the tax stamp, so long as I don't join them together? I ask because I have a 10.5" upper that's part of a pistol build. If I decided to SBR it at some point, and since I already own the upper, am I legal having a rifle lower and short barrel upper, say in the same safe, so long as they're never joined together??
2. Does the SBR apply to the upper and the lower together? Or just the lower only? I ask because if I did an SBR with the short barreled upper, would I be able to swap the upper back to a pistol lower? Or are those two pieces forever joined together?
Just curious to hear from some folks that have some experience with this. I've read a number of threads on this, but I'm still not clear on the finer points.
Thanks
