I thought it had to be a designation from the manufacturer on their paperwork, I have a Rock River Lower and it is stamped on the box and shipping paperwork as a pistol lower
The lower must have never been made into a rifle. I bought 3 EA lowers and had them shipped to LA gun and Reloading Larry told me they are only marked one way on the form now. My receipt from EA says "lowers never assembled as a firearm".

Jon, do you have that right, "you can never make a firearm out of it", than would good are they, I guess it is a paperweight, do you mean, pistol or rifle specific???
In order to make a pistol the stripped lower can not have been previously assembled into a rifle.
From what I've found the lower must come from the manufacturer as a dedicated pistol receiver. I have dealer accounts with RRA and that's how they do it, but you will wait on those parts. I think receiving am assembled lower is faster than a stripped lower at this time...
Q: Those cost too much/they're not exactly what I want/I'd rather build my own:
A: Then you need a virgin receiver.
Q: What's a virgin receiver?
A: A virgin receiver is one that has never been deflowered, of course
Ie, it has never been built into a rifle. It was shipped to your FFL as a stripped receiver, and transferred to you on the yellow form as a pistol or stripped receiver.

"With respect to buffer tubes, the use of either buffer tube you describe is permissable. However, possessing a rifle buttstock that could readily be installed on your pistol could constitute possession of a short-barreled rifle."
I don't know about you, but my rifle comes with a buttstock, and I could uninstall it and reinstall it onto a pistol lower in under 2 minutes. That's pretty fawking readily installed. Ergo, if you own both a rifle and a pistol you could be considered in possession of an SBR. If it can't be interpreted that strictly then if you disassemble your rifle in the presence of your pistol, or if you purchase a spare/ new buttstock and keep your old stock lying around, you could then be considered in possession
Our government is ****ing rediculious

From my reading as long as you have a tube that can't easily accept a stock you are o.k. A spare stock would not fit the pictured buffer tube and is the way I would go to avoid the issue hopefully.
