"If that were the case, the same would apply to an AR 15 receiver that was purpose built to be a pistol, no?"

But the lower of an AR pistol bears a serial number that can be definitely be PROVEN to have been a rifle OR a pistol when it left the factory; since there is no such thing as a "factory" sawn-off Mosin-Nagant rifle, any M-N receiver bearing original factory markings would HAVE to be a SBR, and not a newly-made M-N pistol.
