As long as I don't attach the shoulder board, it is legal to shoot? I have a 9mm 12" barrel that I have attached to a lower that I also attach a receiver for a .22 cal and a 30 luger receiver to. Will attach my set-up:
Perfectly legal to shoot this gun as a pistol, regardless of caliber or the barrel length. You tempt the federal law enforcers if you should "create" or "make" a SBR that is not registered. That would be a violation of the National Firearms Act of 1934, UNLESS you have paid the $200 tax.

You have something that is fairly unique. If it were mine, I would pay the tax, obtain a period and appropriate shoulder stock and increase it's uniqueness... Enjoy!
