I suspect no court
would ever uphold this law--
won't see a "battle."

Perhaps that's because no federal court has the jurisdiction to hear this case in it's administrative form, and no federal court will agree to hear it in it's common law form.

You suspect wrongly. Another Federal circuit has already decided that a machine gun manufactured in one State isn't subject to Federal laws if it never left the State in question.

The ATF of course ignored that decision.

This battle is practically indistinguishable from Raich (re: California-legal pot). The battle, officially, is already lost - unless the next box is applied.

Its a state court matter. Screw the feds. They have not jurisdiction. The state should just rely on the state courts and tell the feds to get bent. 10th amendment is pretty clear.
