In answer to your question further up the page... NO, you do no always have to use the stock with the pistol, but to be allowed to legally attach the stock to the pistol any time in it's life (or yours) you must have gone through the SBR creation, taxation, and registration process.

I am not sure if a process exists at ATF for "divorcing" the stock from the pistol once the registration has occured. For example, you get tired of the stock or decide that you could make a lot of money from selling it and not selling the pistol because you want to keep it. I think you may have to petition ATF to de-register the pistol as an SBR and convert it on paper back to being just a pistol... If you don't do this, you will probably have to go throught the Class III transfer process to get rid of it.

Thanks much goes to stymie for his NFA tax explanations.
