Just be aware that the moment you put the pistol upper on the rifle lower, you have created an SBR, possession of which without the requisite tax stamp is a federal felony.

I think I'll say it... you should know what the law is... seem's to me your just fishing for trouble with three different posts basicly on the same subject...

I have a collection of NFA stuff. I'm well aware of the law. Plus if I do get a rifle lower you can't file for the stamp without the serial number, so I would have to have the lower before I can file for the stamp.

You can't just get a 15-22 lower. S&W doesn't sell them. That being said, SBR'ing a rifle is a better option than SBR'ing a pistol. If you Form 1 the rifle, you can cut the barrel to any length. The pistol comes with a 6 inch barrel, so you can't go any longer than that. The rifle lower also has a nice solid receiver extension (buffer tube) and you don't have to make adapters and modify parts to work.

Shawnr5, but if you make an SBR by putting the pistol upper on the rifle lower you've got the best of both worlds, if you're happy with a 6" barrel.
I am unclear on the wording of the SBR legislation but if you take a rifle lower and register it as an SBR you can go back to a longer barrel at will, can't you? While a pistol that becomes an SBR is a rifle always.

Once a rifle, always a rifle. Putting a long barrel on an sbr does not alter it's classification. Neither would removing the butt stock.

Ah thanks. Keeping track of the rules in another country are quite hard.
