there are plenty out they’re that have an 07 FFL and would likely be more than willing to do that for cheap or free to help out the transfer, little things like that go a long way for future business and they know it.That possibly could work. Federally, that may require an 07 FFL that can manufacture. But it might meet the state definition of rifle while staying an other federally.
If it does become a rifle federally, it would prevent you from first building it as a pistol. So it will forever be a rifle. Can’t throw on a 10” 300blk barrel and brace. BUT, since it wouldn’t have a stock on it yet, one might still be able to build it into a pistol, as it might still just be an other.
Edit: Yeah, it seems like it would still be an “other”, so the buyer could turn it into a pistol after taking possession. But I’m still not sure if a non-07 FFL is allowed to put the barrel on.
