On the other side, yes they carry a lot of junk but also have good stuff and good ammo prices. The store is kinda thrift store meets bargain cave but deals can be found.

Question I have is there any difference in the paper work for a pistol or a rifle, is there any reason that I can not make a pistol out of this bare stripped lower?

Dude, you need a new computer so you can use Google maps!! It is still very much the craptastic jumble sale you remember. The bit about being able to actually be order REAL, USEFUL gun stuff is new to me, and either they never did this 10 years ago or I didn't know about it.

No difference in paper work as it's Form 4473 either way. Part of the section the dealer fills out is marking the lower as 'rifle', 'pistol' or 'other firearm'. Typically dealers mark stripped lowers as 'other', but you will want to have the discussion with whom ever is completing your paper at the counter to verify how they will identify the lower. If marked as 'rifle' it can never be a pistol, if marked 'pistol' or 'other' combined with your carry permit or permit to purchase number on the form allows it to be made into a pistol or rifle.
There are some caveats and ambiguity to be aware of beyond the paperwork... I won't rehash it here as it was partially explored in the long gun section under the sig brace topic. Just a word of caution is to keep in mind none of the individuals involved in that discussion are ATF agents(to my knowledge) so any info contained within or derived from may not be worth anything in the court of law. Proceed with your own best judgement.
