Basically what I get out of this,,,
Is that my Beretta NEOS Carbine kit is legal,,,
As long as I disassemble and reassemble in a certain order.

If I were to inadvertently place the pistol barrel on the receiver before I removed the rifle stock I momentarily have made a Short Barreled Rifle.

So the order of assembly I use is always:
1) Remove the carbine/pistol stock and barrel from the receiver.
2) Attach the barrel you want to use for this occasion.
3) Attach the appropriate stock to the receiver.

But I also went a bit farther,,,
I bought an extra NEOS pistol and sold the barrel,,,
I assembled the carbine on that receiver and will never change it back.

I forget the number of the ATF ruling that makes my NEOS Carbine Kit legal,,,
But I do have a laminated printout of it packed in the case I keep my NEOS components in.
