I just ordered a brand spankin new lower and parts kit from Palmetto State Armory.
You can put any size barrel you want on a pistol, just can't have a VFG, bipod or stock. Also, according to the ATF, you are free to convert your pistol to a compliant Rifle at any time, but you may not convert a rifle to a pistol. Talking to the guy at Palmetto State, he said they have quite a few guys who have AR 'pistols' until their NFA stamp comes back, then they'll slap the stock on to make it an SBR.
