Are pre-drilled trunnion holes still okay for an AK 80% receiver, or is this now considered a firearm?

Going through my parts bin and don't want to run afoul of the AFT if I sell something. This was considered an 80% when I bought it, but I know the Feds change their minds on things frequently.

It's still considered an 80%. You can get new 80% receivers from Childers and Recreator with those holes as options.
