When purchasing an AR receiver (others too, I'm sure), you can have the 4473 filled out as either a pistol or a rifle. I guess there are some differences in the law depending on which way it is transferred and how you can configure it.
So, you buy a receiver, fill out the 4473 as a pistol, and build your pistol. The dealer keeps the copy of the 4473. It's logged in the book and life goes on.
So, how does the ATF know if it was transferred pistol or a rifle? With all the AR pistols out there, they would need to find the distributor, trace it to the gun shop, and send someone out to see the paperwork?
Please tell me I'm missing something here.
