This does not relate to the NFA act (class 3) at all... This is ALL non-sporting purpose firearms as the ATF defines them... which can change at any time. Basically, if you can't import it, you won't be able to assemble one without their permission.
I hope that I'm wrong on this but I somehow doubt it.

I believe you are correct. This appears to be directed at the "bare receiver + parts kit" crowd, such as the "Build-It-Yourself" guys at AR-15.com and the bunch over at the FAL Files "Gunsmithing" forum. I'll have to cruise around the gun-related message boards and see if this is the prevailing suspicion.
