That was my thought when I got it. Now I do not want to spend money on a shotgun. I want to get an ar SBR.

I'd still keep it.... for Historical reinactments and such!

My question to 1911vm is-- Is the gun registered as a short barreled shotgun? GH
Yes sir it is.
Hmmmm that's not entirely accurate from my understanding. You don't swap it in and out of being an SBS every time you change the barrel . . . it either is, or it isn't, and that's independent of which barrel it's wearing at the time. Remember that the "firearm" is the receiver, not the barrel. Even if you put a longer barrel on it, it's still legally an SBS for legal purposes, and you still have to report state line crossings and carry your paperwork. If you sell it as a shotgun not a short barreled shotgun, or destroy the paperwork, then the SBS registration becomes invalid and it reverts to being a shotgun . . . and if you put that short barrel back on without applying for a new tax stamp, you're making an illegal SBS even if it was previously registered as one.
As an analogy, you have to register a pistol as a SBR in order to put a stock on it. A friend of mine who lives in a state where concealed carry licenses are only for handguns has a Glock 17 that he's registered as an SBR in order to use it on a carbine conversion kit that attaches a stock to it. Even when it's in physical pistol not carbine configuration, it's still legally considered a rifle (short barreled rifle to be specific) not a pistol so he can't concealed carry it.
