Remove the handguard and remove the barrel. The barrel by itself isn't illegal. I'd rather buy a 16in barrel for $180 than register it with the atf and create an nfa item. It's only temporary until courts rule it unconstitutional, maybe 2 yrs tops, if that.
Your lower is still legal. The upper is a half stripped upper until you put a 16in barrel on it. None of which is illegal. Don't register it.
