With three SBRs and four shortie uppers I can swap around the one I want on a pistol lower, like Aragorn, to take with me in the truck. Having tried all configs I like the Shockwave best.

That's actually a felony. You can not convert a rifle into a pistol. And you certainly can't switch lowers back and forth at will. And by the letter of the law if you are in possession of a stock that fits a rifle buffer on a pistol you are also committing a felony. Better check the laws before you pay the price.

Lowers are transferred as other. Once you make it a rifle, it's always a rifle. If you make it into a pistol, then you can convert it into a rifle, but you can't convert it back legally.
How the ATF knows you've converted back and forth? I don't mess with my gun rights. Those are my cents.

cUnless it was built as a pistol first. It's stupid, but you can convert a rifle that was originally a pistol back to its original configuration. And if you own a rifle you can own as many spare parts as you want. And Fledge is correct: if you build a pistol with a carbine buffer tube but never put a stock on it then it was never a rifle.
Edit: the above comment on pistol-rifle-pistol may only apply if built from parts: https://www.atf.gov/file/55526/download
Likewise, because it is the same weapon when reconfigured as a pistol, no “weapon made from a rifle” subject to the NFA has been made.Last edited by BoilerUp; 3 March 2017 at 14:42.

Dave, any reason why you're stuck on getting a trust? It's a common misconception that if you have an NFA item, it can't be inherited (and/or then sold) if it's not on a trust. In fact there's a form that can be filled out by an Executor that doesn't require any tax paid. It's also perfectly allowable to let others (ie, family members/friends) shoot your NFA item at the range in your presence.
While it's true, technically your family members "shall not" have access to the item at home when you're not there....seriously, there's more important things to worry about. Just my $.02.
