In a nutshell, the genesis of this question is we had an AR rifle come out with a lower marked "PISTOL".
Suppose someone buys an AR rifle, somewhere down the road puts a pistol upper on it and an arm brace. I know you can't legally "unmake" a rifle like that legally, but it seems to me, as a dealer in used firearms, there's no actual way for me to know if an AR pistol I'm offered for sale was originally built in what configuration.
And, actually, in FLA, since there's no gun registration, there's no way for the government to know in that case either. If a gun was registered in another state, that's a different story.
So, what do the legal minds here think of the legal liability of inadvertently taking in a rifle illegally remanufactured (switched uppers) into a pistol that is now an SBR?
