does having the AR pistol and an AR rifle equal constructive intent?
Negative.

Also, it's not "constructive intent", it's "constructive possession".
I am actually not quite as terrified with constructive possession as some people seem to be; while the cited case is certainly food for thought, the BATFE has also dropped that charge numerous times in other seemingly open-and-shut cases. Notably, in the case cited in this thread, Mr. Kent also got busted for having a machinegun. He didn't get 78 months for just having an accidental SBR - indeed, the truth is, he probably also had an illegal SBR. If you are not stupid, and if you store the SBR upper somewhere else (like with a friend or parents), you should be fine.
Fed and state are separate. Kind of like the assault pistol ban. MAC 11 is illegal unless AOWed which makes it legal. As long as your SBR is not a banned configuration you should be fine.Is there no chance to submit a SBR paperwork in after 10/1? Like if we have a pistol configuration before 10/1 and then post 10/1 I suddenly have an urge for a buttstock or a vertical grip. Seeing how it's the ATF that collects the tax and approves..
so to clarify...
I can build an AR15 pistol from my regulated AR15 lower that was purchased. I am able to lawfully own and use this while waiting for the NFA stamp to return.
Submit the paperwork (Form 1) to get the NFA stamp to make it into an SBR.
When the paperwork is complete (how long does it take), I can then put a buttstock on it to make it into the SBR?
When do I need to get the receiver engraved? What exactly should be on the receiver (property of ....)
