He gave me his cell number and we said we should go shooting some day. Called me sir a lot. liked my dogs.

No...not offended at all. As I said in my initial posts (#83), I didn't totally agree with the local agent's initial assessment after reading the law myself. But that was his ultimate opinion after calling his central office and getting input from them.
I, too, found the ATF agent on my end to be quite reasonable, polite, etc...it was if he were trying to find a way for it to be OK to keep. Go figure.
Anyway...shows you the law can be quite gray and not entirely black and white.
