Built my first AR in 5.56 with an 80% lower and even impressed myself with how well it turned out and how well it shoots. Now have some questions on my next proposed build.......
I have another 80% lower to work with and am considering making a 300BLK pistol out of it. I'll go the extra step and get the lower engraved with my trust info and a serial number - I know this is not required for a rifle, but is this required for a pistol configuration? I'm considering a 10.5" barrel and a buffer-tube stabilizer.
I think this initial stage is fine with no paperwork or ATF involvement needed. Any issues I should consider?
Now......suppose next year I want to add a buttstock and VFG, converting this pistol to an SBR. I submit the Form 1 to the ATF, and when I get the stamp, I'm good? And while I'm waiting for the stamp, I'm still good using the pistol configuration with the buffer-tube stabilizer and no VFG?
I think this stage is good also, or am I required to build the initial configuration into a rifle before converting it to a SBR?
