I saw an ad on Swapgiant I have been thinking about for the last week or so. Someone had sawed off the butt stock of a shotgun, decided that was a bad idea since it did not meet minimum overall length and had reglued the stock back on. My understanding is that once you break 922R compliance, cut a barrel, take out of C+R compliance etc. the firearm is forever illegal or not C+R even if you return it to its original form, at least technically.

Is this true? Am I mistaken?
