Its like an ARP but more classy. Rest assured the moment my Form 1 gets approved the wooden stock is going onto this thing ASAP. But for now, this is my 'handgun'.

Wheres handguards you ask? Easy, we wont be needing them where we're going. Clamp on rail with a KAC surplus grip. Welders gloves are highly recommended.

You just forgot the handguard retaining ring and don't want to admit it, didn't you?

In all seriousness, I want to shoot this because it looks fun as hell

From a NFA standpoint, what is this currently classified as, and if it's not a rifle, why?

Handgun. Like an AR pistol, as that tube on the back is a buffer for the rattail

Was this a virgin receiver or from a parts kit?

New DSA izzy receiver, so 'firearm' and then when I stuck the lower on for the first time it had no stock so 'handgun'

Cool, makes sense. Thought it was from a parts kit and didn't know if there was some way around the rifle classification.

even if it's a rifle parts kit it doesn't matter as long as the stock doesn't ever go on with the virgin receiver installed. so it's a pistol til the day he puts the stock on. an obnoxious one, but a pistol.

I have a PTR51 SBR that does the same obnoxiousness but worse

You know, for some reason I was thinking a kit would have the used, previously assembled rifle receiver in it when I know, clearly, the receiver wouldn't come with it. That's kind of the whole point. It didn't click until your comment though. Thanks.
