If you make the assumption that this second round of ban conveniently bundles the SLR/ATRS with the AR looking shotguns, then this could be based on "looks/style" more than the "variant" aspect of it.
The "looks/style" and "variant" are different things, especially with all the technical work that has been done with regards to determining what is a "variant" and what isn't. They clearly had the ability to determine what looks like an AR, and what is a variant of an AR. There's no mistake about this.
A "modified" version would be even more of a stretch as modify would need the original, and changes done to it (lineage). If ATRS is able to show(or already have), that their MH/MV/MS were developed from the ground up without borrowing any dimensions from the AR15, but only dimensions extracted from the unregulated parts (i.e. bolts, trigger pins, barrel nut, 1913 rail etc), then I can't see how you could say MH/MV/MS were modified from the AR15 itself. If I make fixture holding an AR15 barrel, which allows me to insert a round and lock it with the bolt, capable of firing if I hit the firing pin really hard, have I created a modified AR15?
Best they could say is that because it uses the AR15 action, therefore it is a variant. I don't know of any precedent based on this. Everything classified as AR15 variant was either upper fitting on AR15 lower (Like the DA50), or even if it didn't fit a standard AR15 lower, the manufacture explicitly says it's developed from the AR15/M16(Original MR223, which didn't fit standard AR15 lowers but was developed from it, or a variant of the HK416)
What I fear the most is the second round of OIC. If there's a second, there can be a third and fourth. For the short term, if the OIC is a one time thing to earn the liberals political points, at least some of these designed can be spared for now.

I ship at least once a week on my day off.
Can a charity be made for this? It would be great to donate and be able to get tax credits as well
Will donate as well.

Just throwing an idea out here, can we sue civil servants? The government may have unlimited money, but they won’t.
