Another thread got me thinking, but it was enough of a drift to start a different thread.
Suppose an item :
From orig mfg was a complete lower reciever, but had never been assembled with any upper at all before being delivered to 007/SOT to be Form 4 made into a grandfathered under 29in SBR . In Md.
Switch mental gears : Under NFA , one can render an SBR temporarily into non-NFA configuration, and while not in possesion of components to revert to NFA form, cross state lines w/o a 5320.20 .
SO:
In it's default non-NFA configuration should this Item be/ become a Handgun or Rifle ? It started life as an "Other" , and has only ever had bbls of less than 14in , which in Md make it a "Handgun" . So for it to visit other states without documentation does it need to have the butt stock removed or a longer bbl.
Before jumping to conclusions would this scenario be different if an "Item" started life as a Pistol ( Scorpion, or Ruger Challenger let's say) and then was Form 4'ed to an SBR ? What if any would be the dividing points ?
