I know, but the restricted portion remains the receiver, which in this case lacks and functions without the recoil buffer tube; so the "tubeless" lower remains a replica of a real firearm's lower (even though the legalities don't work that way, I'm just indulging the OP's question). I mean you could technically throw on a normal upper on it I suppose (it wouldn't function, but that's besides the point I guess).
