dogtown, not so fast - 922(r) might apply since it's imported as a pistol, so no, it's not "pretty darn clear", so yes, we will wait for the ATFE decision. 
Stupid question time - vertical pistol grips on pistols

922(r) has nothing to do with the National Firearms Act of 1934.
Since the passage of that act putting a shoulder stock on a pistol makes it a short barreled rifle. Whether the pistol was made in the USA or imported has absolutely zero bearing on the NFA.
So, yeah........it's crystal clear.

The key word here is rifle not pistol. Foreign made military style rifles are banned from importation unless they meet the 922r law. Changing it from a pistol to a rifle could make 922r apply.
Importing the EVO as a pistol could be how CZ got around 922r since 922r doesn't apply to pistols.
Armoredman, I don't know how long the EVO is but if the permanently attached parts measure 26 inches or more you can legally attach a vertical grip. You can't count any parts in the measurement that could be taken off either end of the EVO and the gun would still function.
This gets discussed a lot over at AR15.com. They have ATF letters posted over there dealing with NFA stuff also.
