....In short, by building an AR pistol I can always convert it to a rifle and back to a pistol, no problems there...

Federally speaking, no. No you can not. Once a rifle, always a rifle.
Thanks for insight on why you have to have this set up. Good luck.

There seems to be some disagreement on this point, including on this site. Some say that the original configuration the receiver is transferred as will dictate the legal status of the firearm. e.g. a bare lower is classified as "other" on the 4473 so it can legally be configured as a pistol then a rifle and back as long as the pistol upper is not installed at any point that the rifle components are on the lower.

Personally I don't think I want to be a test case for the law and my pistol lowers will always stay pistol lowers. I live in a free state and a $70 lower is not worth my freedom.

YMMV

All said and done moving seems like an easier option, truly.

Not so easy in reality

Unless you know of any easy to get jobs in other states that pay in the low 6 figure salary range?

My head spins when I try to decipher the gun laws in California. I feel for you all out there.
