Don, I am not a lawyer and don't play one on TV or Internet forums, but what I am "sure" about is that my words above are clear enough that they could not be misunderstood by ATF and cause them to interpret actions by a law abiding citizen as a technical violation of the NFA.
To play "what if" about replacement of parts and what affect that would have on an ATF agent's interpretation? I totally agree with you... this is one of those don't ask questions...
...better left vague than to get a direct answer to the question from an ATF agent that would only be based on their opinion at the moment and not a published law or regulation reference.
