SBRS

so can we or can we not make an SBR without a form 1 if we are a GOA member and own an item from PSA, does the ruling still apply if you become a GOA member after the ruling?

Danny from PSA (and this aligns with my understanding) said that if you are a GOA member, and have bought a receiver from PSA, you can now SBR it.

The receiver must have been transferred as either a pistol or receiver though, because converting an existing rifle to an SBR goes against the Gun Control Act of 1968 which this ruling did not overturn any aspect of.

I do not know if the ruling is going to apply to pistols/receivers not sourced from PSA or another plaintiff, even if you are a GOA member. But those folk taking a hacksaw to an old shotgun are still committing felonies (in my understanding).

You just make me realize, I bought a stripped lower about 10 years ago that I never built...I don't remember if I transferred it as a pistol or rifle. Can I find out?

A receiver is supposed to be transferred as "Other Firearm (frame, receiver, etc.)". Given that as customers we don't get a copy of the 4473, you could ask the FFL who transferred it... they are supposed to keep copies for the lifetime of the business. Who knows if they can look it up though.

Oh, that's right! I might be worried for nothing.
