OK, let me see if I can explain this correctly. If you make an "AK-pistol" from a virgin stripped receiver, such as one that was DROSed to you as a pistol(yes, I know about the roster), or one that you made yourself, then that receiver has never been a rifle. As such, as long as you do not install a shoulder stock, you haven't made a rifle, or converted that receiver from a rifle.

What the parts came from does not matter, it is the configuration of the receiver. If the receiver was configured as a rifle, then cutting it down into a pistol would make it a "firearm made from a rifle".

Since it would not be an SBR, you don't have to deal with the Form 1 business.

The reference to "Making a Firearm" is different from assembling one.

Making a firearm would be building the receiver from scratch or at most from an 80% receiver.

no, "making a firearm" in that regulation does not require you to build/finish your own receiver. Merely assembling the parts, or having the neccessary parts under your control is enough to be considered having made a firearm under that section of the code.

I must have had a brain fart last night I forgot the receiver is the "gun"!! I got to stay off the computer late at night!!!
