yes it should be classified as a "firearm" and not a rifle which would make it legal to build as a AR pistol "With respect to barreling and the assembly of pistols, if individuals utilize a receiver that has never been barreled as a rifle action, they may lawfully assemble a pistol. Such an assembled pistol would constitute a "firearm" as defined in the GCA." https://www.guntrustlawyer.com/2011/11/can-i-make-an-ar-15-type-pisto.html

Hi Tony, It can be either a handgun or rifle actually. The choice between a pistol or rifle can be a hard one, that is why DPMS offers their excellent AR-15 lower receiver without a stock. When you buy the partially complete lower receiver from DPMS, just pick what type of receiver extension you need to complete your build, and you are in the home stretch! Made on state of the art CNC machines from a high quality 7075 T6 aluminum forging DPMS delivers a product that exceeds all of your expectations. The black Teflon finish applied over a Mil-Spec hard coating does an excellent job of keeping carbon from sticking to the surface of the receiver to make cleaning easy. With the partially complete AR-15 lower receiver, getting your next project started on the right foot has never been easier! Specifications and Features: DPMS stripped AR-15 lower receiver LR-05K -- Forged from 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum -- Hardcoat anodized per Mil-A-8625 -- Teflon coated Black
