OK......You're paranoid.byggpoppa I have all my stripped AR lowers transferred as pistol... and my favorite shop is even kind enough to give me a copy of the form. I will not use a lower as a pistol lower unless I get it this way... call me paranoid.

Mammynun, you may want to get the lower engraved before you fill out the paperwork.
I've been thinking about doing this when I finally build my SBR. Ive never built an AR lower yet and I was wondering how do you register it as pistol or rifle. Do you have to do it when you pick it up from the dealer? And Ive seen that people put rails on their AR pistols but could that be considered constructive intent of an AOW if I have vertical grips laying around the house or the safe?

I'd say if the ATF is in your house and that problem popped up, you were already screwed in the first place. Can't imagine them showing up to search your home because there's a chance you have a forward grip and pistol w/ railed handgaurd on the same piece of property. I would think keeping a cover over the bottom rail would be a sufficient form of C.Y.A.
why don't you take a rife buffer tube and mil it down so the butt stock WILL NOT FIT ON IT,and use that until you get your stamp back or is it legal to do that?
Yes you're paranoid and to add to it, your shop is doing it wrong. They aren't supposed to transfer a stripped lower as a pistol. They're supposed to be transferred as other. I don't know how much of a CYA it is for you if it's not even filled out properly....
Very interesting thread. I hadn't even heard of 300BLK before this and now I want an AR chambered in it!
Wonder how expensive this is going to be.
