More or less, yes. Keep in mind, I'm not an attorney, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

If you set it up as a rifle, it's a rifle, and must remain as a rifle.

Set it up as a pistol, it's a pistol, and must remain as a pistol.

I asked an FFL about it this weekend and he said the label the stripped lowers as "receiver" on the form.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
