The DOJ has announced they will maintain the current Biden-era frame and receiver rule, reversing a previous indication that changes were forthcoming. This decision comes after the ATF requested a stay in legal challenges to allow for rule modification. The rule, finalized in 2022, expanded the definition of a firearm frame or receiver to include partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional parts, and reclassified parts kits requiring FFL handling.
