In this case, an 80% cut, YOU make the lower. You do not purchase it, you make it. YOU decide what it is, not the .gov.

This is why I build and not buy. Nobodys business how many and what type of firearms I have

What if you built one that have both a pistol and rifle and crossbow on the same mulit-level frame? What is it then? (other than sweet)

this is not entirely true, at least, NOT according to the BATF, when the lower is made and you purchase it you can request it be listed as a pistol, however fi you EVER put a rifle upper on it, the BATF says it is now a rifle and can only be a rifle from that point on.

The pistol to rifle and the back to pistol was settled law in 1992 with the TC contender the courts ruled one could turn a pistol into a rifle then back into a pistol with out violating the law. But one could not turn a rifle into a pistol.
