No so. The serialized part has to be registered by the manufacture as a pistol, rifle, or other. This is recorded at the point of sale on the AFT form 4473, section B Question 18. A rifle can not become a pistol by changing the stock.

If you buy a receiver conceivably you could build either? (Asking for a friend)
The form requires you to enter pistol, rifle, shotgun, receiver, frame or other....blah blah blah and NFA ya da ya da
Honestly, I’m not sure how doing a build legally would require you stating which when you buy the receiver. Not trying to be facetious, honestly I never gave it much thought and just never understood the form.
