Bruen and LBE v. Raimondo (overturned Chevron deference) have basically made the NFA toothless on everyone except FFLs who directly interact with the ATF. Without Chevron deference, all those "opinon letters" the ATF issued and backtracked on over the years carry zero weight. All that matters is what's clearly written in the black letter law. All those weird made-up regulations like "once a rifle, always a rifle," and "barrel length can only be increased by pin-and-welding, not rocksetting or simply torquing a muzzle attachment to the barrel threads" are really no longer enforceable. The ATF would have to go to court and argue completely nonsensical things like why the law says that putting a stock onto an AR pistol makes it a rifle, but taking the stock off again doesn't make it a pistol.
