Unless you want it stamped pistol for aesthetics it doesn't need it. All you need is stripped lower tranferred to you on a 4473 as a pistol, or as an other stripped receiver, the other allows you to build it as a pistol or rifle, just remember that once you build it as a pistol you can't make it into a rifle.
Sooner guns and sportsworld both have stripped lowers.
Actually I would rather not it have the pistol stamp. I have an AR carbine and want to build a pistol as winter project. I am more of a handgun guy and new to AR's so please be patient with me. If the pistol stamp isn't necessary, why do all the manufacturers sell pistol receivers? My ultimate plan is, depending on how my first build turns out, is to do the paperwork and make it a SBR.
By the way, in reality is building an AR really more of a project of assembling parts?
Appreciate your comments.
And yeah, I have spent some time on AR15.com, its just that I would rather ask dumb questions here.
Thanks
