It is understood that the directive applies to endorsement applications where it is the understanding of the arms officers that the applicant wants to convert what is referred to as a A category firearm to an E category firearm. In fact because you are not doing that; rather you are manufacturing a military style semi automatic firearm, the ostensible directive does not effect you.
However if that is incorrect and there is a directive floating around that all endorsement applications are on hold, please let NSA know asap so that we can sue for nonfeasance.
