Is there such a thing as a preban AR pistol lower? I realize it needs to be in AW configuration pre-94 to be a AWB exempt. I also realize you can't convert a RIFLE into a pistol, regardless of manufacture date. But are there any lowers floating around that were built as a pistol back in the early 90's?
Bonus points.... is it plausible that someone out there has a homemade lower, that was finished/milled out back in the early 90's, and was built into a pistol back then, thus making it a "preban, 80%->100% lower"?
Final lighting round... is it legal to sell someone your homemade lower? I'm guessing once it became a pistol, it is forever a pistol and never again an "other"? So across state lines would need to be via an FFL? Is there any exemption for pre-ban pistols in MA in terms of the dealer list? I.e. if I can find a preban, homemade lower, for sale in another state, and an FFL willing to do that tranfser, would it be strictly speaking legal? Obviously the list issue could be as simple as just selling the stripped lower, but is that legal if it originated as an "80%"?
So many questions.
