Ok. Let's say Alpha Alpherson wants to build an SBR, but the upper he wants is on sale. He does not want to have constructive posession, but for some reason wants to maintain posession of this upper while a Form 1 to register his only AR lower as an SBR is pending. Can Alpha purchase and posess this upper, and lend the lower to his buddy Bravo Bravzczhinski while the Form 1 is pending?
Once the Form 1 is approved, then the lower would be engraved and then of course we know Alpha can assemble his complete AR.
If the word problem is too complicated let me try and ask it another way. If one person is registering a short-barreled AR-15 rifle (in the form of a lower, either built or stripped, doesn't matter) on a Form 1 (they are the manufacturer), can another non-prohibited person posess the lower in its non-NFA form until the form comes back in order to prevent constructive posession? I know the easy answer for this is to give the upper to someone else who already has a registered lower, or no AR receivers at all... but of course someone I'm helping out insists on wanting to keep their upper while the paperwork goes through...
