BATF appealed that decision and won at the Federal Appeals level - looks like a sympathetic panel:

The decision does sound that way. Jolly. Still he crossed the BATF and was successful, at least for a while, and that's pretty unforgivable. Bureaucrats hate it when they are challenged by the hoi polloi.
