This is exactly what I see happening with this.
So right now, is it legal to put an AFG on a 7.5" AR Pistol?

AFGs have always been legal on pistols according to previous letters.So right now, is it legal to put an AFG on a 7.5" AR Pistol?
So basically, according to these two letters:
Rifle under 16" barrel or under 26" length = SBR
Shotgun under 18" barrel or under 26" length = SBS
Pistol + VFG under 26" length = AOW
Pistol + VFG over 26" length = something else that doesn't require any registration, unless it actually was concealed
AFGs have always been legal on pistols according to previous letters.
The open letter specifically states vertical fore grips. AFGs are not vertical.

Well it looks like someone beat me to the punch by a couple of days.
An AR pistol is a pistol. If you add a VFG, it's an AOW. But if the total length is over 26", it's not an AOW because it's too big to be concealed. So... 10.5" or so barreled AR pistols can have a VFG, but 7.5" ones probably can't.
That was a different approach that I didn't take.

On a side note, franklin armory cannot copyright that letter response from the ATF as they did not write the letter.
