Is it OK to have a SBR lower, short upper, and rifle lower but no rifle upper? My understanding is that the ATF rules are such that you should not have a combination of parts that can the only configuration is an illegal SBR. So you cannot have a short upper along with only rifle lowers and uppers (no pistol lowers, no SBR lowers) because the only configuration possible for that short upper would be short upper on a rifle lower, hence illegal SBR.
So I think a combination of SBR lower, short uppers and rifle lower, but no rifle upper is fine because, while an illegal SBR could be assembled, it's not the only configuration possible for the short upper.
Am I understanding the rules correctly?
Edit: I suppose technically, I should substitute 'barrel' for 'upper' in the above description/question.
