Exactly.

When a law "sunsets" it's like there was no law.

BUT!

I've heard that the BATF is interpreting things to mean that there is still a "Post ban" configuration that can't be modded with "Pre-ban" features, which of course makes no sense since the law sunsets.

It could very well take an arrest somewhere and a legal challenge to get things sorted out.
