AR Pistol DROS - Questions

[Andrew85]

I know this is a highly discussed topic but I am unable to find a similar topic based on my situation.

I purchased an Aero AR lower which is marked as a "PISTOL". When the previous owner moved into CA they were able to register it as the following:

Type: PISTOL
Category: Semi-Automatic
Frame Only: No
Make: Aero
Model Pistol
Barrel Length: 11"

When I purchased it the upper was not a part of the deal the FFL transferred it as the following:

Make: Aero
Model: Pistol
Calibers: 0000
Type: Handgun
Category: Semi-Automatic
Frame/Receiver Only: YES
New/Used: USED
FSD Compliance: FSD Purchased

The lower was fully built with a mag lock setup. The question I have is it an issue for me to build an AR Pistol since it was DROS'd as a Frame only?

I appreciate everyone's feedback!

Only issue is when you put upper on must have fixed mag. It is an already assembled and drosed lower prior to your purchase.

I appreciate the feedback. I was concerned it was an issue being a frame receiver only. Currently the lower has an "AR MAG Lock" installed.

Make sure the dros you got says handgun. Thats all there is to it.

No issue with receiver only

Yep enjoy have one in 6.8 spc and it kills hogs quite nicely. It is my outback firearm in Alaska; I carry when I fish the rivers there.

Awesome. Thank you all for the feedback!

The only thing to be aware of is:

Nobody really knows what #2 means. Lots of speculation on what it could mean, but I like to make sure customers are aware of it so they can make their own informed decisions on their own risk tolerance.
