What are the main errors in the ATF's new rule on firearm frames and receivers?

The ATF's new rule has potential errors, particularly concerning the definition of "firearm frame or receiver" as applied to AR-15 lower receivers. Additionally, the scoring system for pistol braces on Form 4999 is criticized for potentially making it impossible to pass.

ATF Form 4999, used for pistol stabilizing braces, is criticized for its scoring system. The worksheet allegedly makes it impossible to achieve a passing score, and the ATF's own reasoning for point allocations lacks clarity and justification.
