Pistol brace questions

Damn your foolishness. I have a law degree; was just too lazy to do legal research for a topic I had idle curiousity over. What in the Hell don't you comprehend about that?
I didn't ask for legal advice. I asked a question out of idle curiousity. You need to take a remedial reading class.
You need to be less idle.

That tracks
Are those on-line degrees even valid in Georgia ?
That other thread is making more sense now
hey man i'll answer your question, the image below is a cz scorpion. the part in red is what is considered the "stock". the rest is called an "arm" or in the case of an ar the "buffer tube".
in the case of this pistol, you can take a rollpin out and take the "stock" out and put an adapter that will let you attach a brace. if you originally bought a rifle, you can put a brace (but why). if you originally bough a pistol, you can not put a stock unless you sbr it (some people will say fReE mEn DonT asK), or pin/weld to reach 16" barrel length. if you sbr it, you can still have a brace if you wanted to. if you put your brace on the sbr it will magically go back to being a pistol.
dont listen to trolls, you are doing your research by asking here. besides, aren't we all lazy on some things at some point? i didn't shower yesterday so what

So, my understanding is that a person can own a braced pistol, but if they put a stock on it, they have to get prior approval to have an SBR.
If a person can own a pistol, they can get approval to make it into a defined short barreled rifle.
Does that mean the brace could be taken off and a regular carbine stock used?
Once you have approval you can make a short barreled rifle.
Does an SBR use the same buffer tube, spring and buffer as the braced pistol?
Depends on the platform and manufacturer.
Furthermore, if you take the upper off and shoot a 16" upper on it, can you then legally put your SBR upper back on or does the SBR become a carbine at that point?
Changing uppers changes title 1 firearms, not nfa items.
Idle curiousity is all.
Hundreds of videos on YouTube and even some by attorneys with law degrees. A braced pistol is still an SBR in the eyes of the ATF. While they can't prosecute, they can still charge you with possession of an unregistered nfa weapon and take it and you. That charge is enough to get future nfa applications hung up and even 4473s denied as "open."
