Answers in order:

1) new stripped lowers = firearm

2) used stripped lower = firearm

3) Out of state lower "registered" as a pistol = pistol

4) Out of state lower "registered" as a rifle = rifle.



Pistols may go from rifle (>/=16"bbl) or NFA tax-stamped SBR (<16"bbl) and back to a pistol. For instance, I could take my Draco (AK pistol) that I (legally) SBR'd and remove the stock (and mounting trunnion) and it'd be legally considered a pistol while in THAT configuration, then put the stock back on it and it's a (NFA registered) SBR again.

Pretty much once a rifle (or shotgun) from the start, it's always a rifle (or shotgun), it's seemingly just the opposite for a "pistol" or "firearm".
I have a pistol that identifies as a rifle. But I know what it really is. :D

Ahh good info thx!

For #4 it's seems then that if someone in OR was buying just a lower from out of state they would want to make sure they knew if it was registered as rifle or pistol previously. Something to be aware of.
