Staying Legal ???

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

Still doesn't matter, right? I have numerous stripped "pistol" marked lowers...]

If the OP finds out this lower in question was sold as a complete rifle, then it does matter as to legality. You'd have a clear answer. The lower may never be assembled as a pistol without getting into NFA registration and taxation (and even then it wouldn't be called a pistol --legally it would be SBR).
If it were sold as a stripped rifle lower, but not assembled with other parts to make a rifle, then well technically it could've been assembled into something else initially , BUT I would assume --and BATF may also assume-- that it had been built as a rifle first.

Still doesn't matter, right? I have numerous stripped "pistol" marked lowers but, by law, if I first assemble one as a rifle, with a stock, it is "forever" a rifle lower and cannot legally be made into a pistol, regardless of what the markings indicate. Just because it is marked as a "pistol" does not prevent it from being assembled as a "rifle". Again, FIRST a rifle, ALWAYS a rifle, right?

Correct. It is just a receiver until it is built the first time regardless of what the writing says.

I wish there were personal pleasure tool laws, so the rest of America had to deal with this kind'a bs.

"Dear Xaviera:

I bought a butt plug online, and I'd like to add a phallic extension for doubke-ended pleasure with a female friend.
However, it was sold under the low tax autoerotic toy class, and came with a green federal stamp. Will I need to pay the difference and upgrade to a hetero sex toy stamp to use it with a peckerhead extension? How would the Federal Allocation of Recreational Toys (FART) department of the Treasury know whether it is being used for gay sects acts or hetero sects acts? If I use it first on a same-gender lover, can I subsequently use it in straight sects acts w/o any registration or tax violations?" (Pink stamps are same tax as Green stamps).
Or will I have to download a form 9, pay the extra sex tax, and register it for a blue stamp?"

Or, just maybe there is some experience in those matters!!

Question in my mind is, if I bought a other receiver from a ODT member who advertised it as a pistol and ATF later said to me that it was originally sold as a rifle receiver, does the ATF give me a pass and go after the ODT member who represented to me as a pistol? Could this be where a bill of sail actually comes in handy?

Unless it was attached to a rifle or pistol upper it is not sold as a rifle or pistol lower, it is just a lower which is marked as other on the 4473. Even one already assembled with a rifle stock can legally be swapped to pistol brace as long as it has never had a rifle upper on it.
There are only three options on the 4473, Long gun, Hand gun, other. A receiver only fits in the other category regardless of configuration.

Complete bull**** all the way around.

Yeah, but as the 2nd, 3rd or 4th owner, I’m at the original 1st buyers mercy to know the truth how my unmarked receiver was originally designated on that 1st buyer’s 4473 form, that is if it was sold to me assembled with 10 inch barrel and sig brace.

Supposedly Colt distributors never sold AR receivers as pistols, that unbuilt Colt receivers are all Rifle receivers, so there’s that
