Scenario:
I move to Georgia, wait 90 days, and apply to BATFE (with $200 tax) to legally declare my pre-'94-ban AR15 a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR). I then move back (or visit) to NY with it, having only a >16" barrel on it and nothing shorter in the house.
Legal? Federally it's an SBR, but to NY it's just a rifle (being pre-'94) - right?
Variant:
I buy someone's grungy old pre-'94 pistol-registered-receiver AR15-pistol (buffer tube, no stock, <16" barrel). I move back to NY, transfer it via FFL to my NY CCW license. I also have above-mentioned SBR. When out of NY, I swap barrels - making the SBR actually have a short barrel - for fun or need, and swap 'em back before returning to NY.
Legal? While in NY, only the legal barrels are on the appropriately registered (SBR, pistol) receivers; while an illegal configuration is possible, they are only actually in a legal configuration, so this is legal - right?
