I have the same thoughts. I have multiple "parts" as well. I know what can go where once complete, but who's to say they might accuse me of my extra "parts" being for construction of evil illegal firearms?

i asked a leo friend of mine on the swat team this couple years ago as he knows a lot of the laws pretty good. his reply was if its not together its not completed but if the gun has ever been checked before they say if its a rifle or pistol when checking the serial so some record could be kept maybe. also when you buy the lower if they asked pistol, rifle and it was noted on the ffl paperwork. other than that they dont know if it was a pistol or rifle lower, that is if just the lower was purchased new by itself.

I did not realize how quick you could get over 26" while building an AR pistol.

will try to find the paperwork i had saved one another pc or will try to find it online again but a hand stop is legal just like the angled foregrip is legal -- the vertical grips or any vertical attachment to which you can wrap your hand around is illegal -- from what i seen and gather is the angled foregrip and hand stops are for horizontal control which they dont seem to care about -- its the vertical control they worry about, even though ar's dont really have vertical control issues

yes i questioned atf on the magpul foregrip and was told it was fine because it was angled and not a straight 90 like a normal vertical foregrip is, crazy as it is its legal
