Because then it's an SBR, or Pistol since they have rifled barrels.
So the difference hinges on the fact that this shoots a shotgun shell and an AR fires a bullet? Damn that's just dumb! Thanks for the info, that's a new one on me.

Because an AR is a rifle, not a shotgun. They have different size requirements/restrictions under the NFA.That's what I was wondering. But how come an AR can be that short and not be AOW?

It's all a bunch of arbitrary nonsense rolled up into a law that nobody really likes....even most at the ATF.So the difference hinges on the fact that this shoots a shotgun shell and an AR fires a bullet? Damn that's just dumb! Thanks for the info, that's a new one on me.

Correct, but that's not the only scenario in which you can be charged with constructive possession. You can be charged with running a stop sign in front of a church...or in front of a school, or in front of a...you get the idea.He got nabbed for constructive possession because he was selling them as a set.
While you may be within the letter of the law, there's no way that I, as a private seller, would ever do that. Besides, all ATF needs to see is two for sale posts from the same user with a rifle lower in one and a pistol upper in the other. They then have RAS to visit you. And unless you have a home for that pistol upper, you get popped for constructive possession.Based on the article he listed the items as accessories to the pistol he was selling. You can sell items separately all day long with no problem. You can even buy them from PSA on the same order. How does the ATF know that I don't have a pistol lower at the house that I want to complete with a upper? Then PSA has a killer deal on a complete AR Rifle lower. I have no intent of assembling them but want to purchase them at the same time. Why would that be against the law?
Just saying you can sell or purchase them as separate items as long as you clearly state that they are not being sold as a unit to be assembled.
If you haven't, join the NRA and lets get these bogus laws put out to pasture.I did not know that. That's why I was confused. I'm still SMH but at least I know now. Thanks.
The argument, at least it was articulated to me, was that, given the close quarter increased lethality of a shotgun as the barrel length diminishes, 18" was as low as they wanted people to go. A 16" rifle isn't dramatically more lethal or less lethal than an 18" one. Where as with a shotgun and the patterning of the shot, supposedly, it is. I don't know that I buy that, but the old fella that told me the story sure seemed convincing.I did not know that. That's why I was confused. I'm still SMH but at least I know now. Thanks.
