Hi everyone,
after waiting for over 5 years, I decided I should go forward with building my own AR15 pistol. I studied previous posting that was very thoroughly explained the legal steps. Wonder if there is any info that is now outdated. I want to share my plan here to make sure I fully understand the legal do's and dont's

How I get my part:
1. Lower receiver - I will follow Option A to get a brand new bare receiver from a FFL. I need to make sure FFL transfer the receiver, in 4473 form, to me NOT as rifle
Question: I do not recall in previous 77R application, I was asked if it is transferred as O (for other) or A (for assault weapon). Is that in the form ?
2. Short barrel upper - Can I order online (from PSA, as below), to get the short barrel upper ? And have it ship directly to my home.

(PSA 10.5" 5.56 NATO 1/7 NITRIDE CLASSIC SHOCKWAVE PISTOL KIT, BLACK - 5165449715)
3. Brace: I assume it should be no issue to get this online as follow.

Question: any comment on the brace I selected ? Is it a good choice ? There are quite a few models including the one that comes with the PSA upper.
In the July 2012 posting, the member suggest "denial pin" as extra legal precaution to protect ourselves legally. I have no idea what denial pin is, how to install it. Please educate me.
I felt excited with this AR15 pistol project but feel very jittery of the legal pitfall of building/owning one. I appreciate your advise.
Much appreciated, Josh
