“How do you build a stripped AR?”

I live in the state of Michigan and when you buy a stripped AR lower they do a background check on you and then sell you a unregistered lower. When you build it into a firearm or rifle you need not do anything else as far as they are concerned. If you put a stock on it before turning it into a pistol you are breaking the law because once you had put a stock on it you have a rifle and nothing short of a tax stamp will change that. When I build a pistol in Michigan out of the same lower you have to register it with the state as a pistol. It is up to you to take care of the registration.
