You don't. That's illegal. You play around with the buttsocks on your rifles.

^no "intent" - which is why I hate the whole idea that the government can just automatically claim you have intent like they are telepathic. Small tyranny.

I think what's sillier is people that make youtube videos, post pictures of and create posts of themselves in this scenario to begin with.

Completely agreed with intent being impossible to truly define, but the real take away is to just make sure at any given moment your pistol might be privy to others' attention, that it is in a legal configuration regardless.

The way I see it, it allows you to SBR in the future rather than just waste money buying different tubes.

If you have money to buy or build NFA items, how is the price of a pistol RE too exorbitant when it can prevent any unwanted legal issues?

Wrong answer.

Gun owners are their own worst enemies. They always want to try and interpret something rather than read and understand the law.

Because for $50 you can largely prevent some ignorant traffic cop from tossing you in a holding cell and while his lieutenant discusses your setup with the ATF. Oh and also they stole your shit via asset forfeiture in the mean time so now you have to deal with that as well.

Don't give nosy cops places to stick their nosy noses...
