Receiver and frames are not Rifle, Shotguns , nor handguns. They should be transferred and registered as Firearms.
Here is the letter anyone can take to HPD !!! They are in the wrong.

Straight from the files at ATF below: (2 pages)


Hawaii does not have an option to register a receiver, we have 2 types of firearms, Pistol if its barrel is under 16 inchs and long gun/shotgun which is a barrel 16 inchs or more.

I read above that you have the register before you do the modifications.  Its currently registered as a regular lower.

Its was registered whatever the default option is for a stripped lower.

Look at your registration it will say if its a rifle or pistol. If its a rifle, you can not make it into a pistol.

As per federal law the receiver is not a rifle or a pistol, but a firearm.  Per Hawaii, as stated by London, it can only be one or the other.  If that is correct and legal, don't know.   I think I heard that the FFL that you receive the lower from can specify if it is a pistol or a rifle lower before you register it....  Something like that. Try talking to a FFL about that.

Sorry, I have never wanted to build a AR pistol, and never researched it,  just trying to help with what I remember off of the forum and hanging around the LGS.
