I thought that was only if it was a rifle before it was an NFA itemOnce a rifle, always a rifle.
I was under the understanding that it would have to be removed from the registry to be sold as anything other than what its in the registry as.
once a rifle, always a rifle.
You have 2 options:
1) sell it as an SBR.
2) install a permenant (welded, silver solder, blind pinned, etc) barrel extension to bring the legal barrel length to 16" +, notify the ATF it's not a pistol and no longer an SBR so they will remove it from the registry, then sell it as a rifle.

Your name and city where you live? What are they going to do with that? And, if a crime is committed with it, it's already on record that you were associated with it either way.
My advice is to talk to someone that would really know the answer, not a bunch of us that can not or do not keep up with changing laws. However..... the way I understand it is that once you make it an NFA item then that is what it is. You would need to contact the ATF and change something with a form
Who knows who’s hands it ends up in down the road? Phonebook and/or google tells them in exactly which house they can find high-end gun stuff?

Good luck with that. Most people have moved to cell phones and phone books are about worthless for finding people anymore.
But even more so, just because a gun came from one particular house, why would it follow there's a bunch more like? Granted, we are talking about thieves. Still, I'd think there are much easier ways to find likely targets for theft than tracing down a name and city from an SBR (assuming you didn't do a trust, in which case, what are they going to do with that).
seriously?
I just typed my name and city into google. I found my current address, my previous addresses, my phone number, my parents' names, and age, without even clicking on a link. That was just in the google results. And I try hard to protect my PII. I wouldn't want all that PII someday sitting on a gun show table w/ hundreds of people walking by looking at it.
really? if you were wanting to go stealing guns, wouldn't you assume someone w/ NFA stuff to have a bunch of other guns? about the only thing easier is following someone home from the range...
