Is this correct?
You can make a pistol into a rifle (SBR it, or extend barrel to 16")
You cannot make a rifle into a pistol. Once a rifle, always a rifle.
Everything I read about United States v. Thompson/Center Arms Co. suggests that the court's decision was that the Contender can be converted back and forth between rifle and pistol configuration without running afoul of NFA stuff.
What gives?
I am curious about this in the context of virgin stripped lowers, and the whole making a pistol or rifle.
