Think about it this way. If you carry a revolver out of state, in what crazy scenario would somebody see it and call the NFA Division to see if the SN was in the registry?
That's my take on it. The reality is there's no definitive answer from the ATF (at least that I've seen) in regards to a pistol-based SBR when not in SBR config. No different than a Glock in a Roni chassis.
