You probably know this, but there are implications about making the SBR.

I think that once it is mated to a rifle lower and licensed as an SBR it cannot go back to being a pistol. I may be mistaken, of course, but I remembersomething like that.

True. Once an SBR it can still be configured as a pistol but it will always be an SBR.
From the research I did building my SBR you can go back to a regular rifle, stockless pistol, basically whatever you want. SBR is just the status of the barrel <16" and/or OAL < 26". Same as a pistol like a 1911 with a detachable stock. You can put a different upper on it to go hunting or long range then go back all you want. However the lower is still registered as an SBR unless you get ATF approval to decertify it. That is the big bonus of getting the stamp is that you can do any configuration your heart desires other than FA.
