[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2822012, member: 123604"] Had it been transferred as a receiver you still could use any length of barrel to on it. A receiver is not a rifle, so making a pistol from a receiver doesn't leave you with an SBR. Unless it was already built into a pistol when it was transferred to you it should not have been listed as a pistol on the 4473 because it was not a pistol. The type of firearm listed on the 4473 doesn't change the classification of the firearm. You still have a receiver, not a pistol, until you build it into a pistol. Like I said, it shouldn't matter. It's more likely to be an issue for the FFL than you, but if it's ever an issue for either party they probably have much bigger problems. I just wanted to point it out as many people erroneously believe a receiver has to be listed as a pistol on a 4473 to make it into a pistol. A firearm should be listed as the correct type for its configuration at the time it's transferred, not the configuration it's going to become. Rifles are a partial exception due to the definition of SBR. [/QUOTE]
