Probably not. There could potentially be legal arguments made if the first time it was fully assembled it was as a pistol, but I wouldn't want to pay what it would cost to make that argument in court.

If it shipped with a rifle buttstock attached, it's best to treat it as a rifle. IMO pinned and welded muzzle devices are a pain in the neck, so I'd stick to a 16" or longer barrel.

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